The distribution of the mule deer ranges
sporadically throughout the Texas panhandle, but the populations of animals are fairly
small. The Mule Deer occurs over the Trans-Pecos and Panhandle regions of Texas and in
some area immediately east thereof, partly as a result of introductions (Davis and
Schmidly, 1994). As for the rest of the United States the mule deer occurs in the Northern
Rock Mountain; at the mouth of the Columbia River; in the southwest in Texas, New Mexico,
and Arizona; and in Mexico (Wilson and Ruff, 1999). In mountainous areas, mule deer
usually are migratory, spending the warmer months in higher elevations (Wilson and Ruff,
1999).
