Mule deer are of considerable economic importance as a big game mammal (Davis and Schmidly, 1994). Sportsmen prize this unique species for a number of qualities, including large body size, tasty venison, and the ability of mature bucks to develop an attractive and often massive set of antlers (Wilson and Ruff, 1999). Overall this mammal is one of the most hunted and most prized animals in North America today. |
