Winter is an incredible time to view deer in their winter habitat.
Along with mule deer, you can also see small mammals and birds, such rabbits, porcupines, quails and pheasants, that are quite visible along country roads. Wildlife drives can be fun and easy, just make sure you have enough gas, food, and blankets on board. Gather information about where mule deer migrate down from the mountains to the foothills in your area. In some cases you won t have to travel very far. The winter ranges deer favor have limited or no snow, grasses, brushes and trees available for forage and to safeguard them from winds and other weather.
