mule deer?

Sorry about the crummy pictures, but this was an afterthought.  Does this look like a mule deer?  It was taken this morning in west central Minnesota.

Without a doubt!

Sure looks like it.  A picture of the tail would tell you for sure.

I sent pictures to a North Dakota wildlife biologist and he forwarded them to a Minnesota biologist.  They agreed it was a mule deer.  The Minnesota biologist added that a handful of mule deer have been harvested in Clay county (the Moorhead area.)  The only bummer was my not realizing what I had and getting better pictures.  I don't have a picture of the tail, but do remember black fur back there.

100% for sure muley.   We had one at our farm one year in Polk County just north of you.  It was they're for a few months,  then disappeared.   Also,  I saw 3 muley bucks this past October about 50 miles west of Clay County.
