Mule Deer Study around the Caprock
One thing Rodney and I enjoy is taking a drive in the country. Looking at God's beautiful scenery is one of "His" most magnificent creations. About nine months ago, Rodney and I came across a field that had approximately fifty mule deer that were grazing on wheat. We stopped to watch the deer play around and prance. The deer appeared to … Continue reading Mule Deer Study around the Caprock
