the face sure looks like a whitetail doesn't it. there is so much of that cross breeding going on around here. what's crazy is the whitetails pop is exploding and they are expanding up high into the mountains, seems like it doesn't matter where I go now, I don't know if I'm going to jump a mulie or a whitetail. great picsIf I couldn't see the rack I would have guessed the deer in the second picture is a whitetail.
