Definitely a white tail, last I checked mule deer don't have 10 inch tails. Just left game and fish Albuquerque to confirm the officer said " YES SIR THATS A WHITE TAIL "he grew up back east. I'll post another pic shortly.

They are starting to pop up in very random areas!!!
We found a buck and two does in a VERY unusual area this year.

Don't ask though because he had drop tines and I wanna go kill him

Pretty cool!

Very interesting.

Funny thing is, a week and a half ago I saw a group of muleys in Canadian, TX.

 

[ElkSniper]

We've got them in Taos too!

Not unusual to see mule deer around Canadian. Plenty of them around there. It's a cool area.

Was on my way to one of my classes at UNM-Taos one day and saw some deer. To my surprise they were whitetails! A small spike/fork buck and a doe. I have heard of people also seeing some by the golf course and other places in town. Wish I would have gotten better pics of them but you can definitely tell by their tails.

LAST EDITED ON Mar-03-16 AT 05:30AM (MST)[p]Nice pics fellas. On gonna go put up a game cam, maybe next week I'll have more!

 

[cosmic_cowboy]

Know someone that saw one in Questa also. I think they must have come over the mountain from Cimarron.

When I hunted the Colin Neblett years ago there were a ton of whitetail down low.

 

[BUGLEnmIN]

LAST EDITED ON Mar-03-16 AT 07:42AM (MST)[p]Saw the first ones ever 15 years ago off the highway between Chilili and Tajique. That's in the mountain east of Albuquerque. My buddy killed a huge ten point off that same highway 8 years ago.

I'm guessing a blacktail as it looks like a coastal deer small with a black tail

 

[smarba]

I found 2 sheds (same side, so different deer) from Manzanos that at the time I just figured were somewhat unique mule deer sheds, but after reading this thread I'm certain they are from whitetail.

Very, very interesting.

They very well may be my friend .

 

[leftturnabq]

Their coloring is different too...the redish tan.

 

[leftturnabq]

They were literally in town. Had to pull a U-turn to go verify they were muleys, as I knew something was different about them.

Speaking of Whitetail sightings in NM. I spent 8 years of my childhood near Sacramento, NM in the 50's, we used to see whitetails frequently in that area. I'd be curious to know if they are still in that area.

 

[smarba]

I don't recall exactly where this was, but back in 2009 I took photos of 2 whitetail does in unit 34 right next to the highway. This is one of them.
