| Interesting on the deer. Means that I'll have took book a mulie hunt
pretty quick! Did you guys do your bear hunt yet?
I just spent lunch time spray painting a new 870 pump that I won.
Figure it will make a good turkey gun. Picked up an "extra full" choke
for it. Have to pattern it this afternoon. What;'s everyone else up
too?

| Yep, I haven't fired it yet. Just took out cans of green, brown, drab
and black paint and started spraying. Came out pretty good, almost
lost the gun in the backyard! Must have been all that practice in the
subways.

Jeff,
The bear hunt is my brother Guy, He'll be going in a few weeks. I must
stay behind due to the Prom season and my limousine business being
really booked.
Hey, know any buyers for a 3.5inch 12ga Ulti-Mag New in box. note 3282
in firearms file.
So what do you think of mule-deer declining ?

| Thats interesting about the mule deer. I didn't realise that the
whitetail and mule deer were genetically capable of inter breeding.
What are the offspring like? If this guys theorys prove out, it
could do a number on some of the outfitters out west.

I would be interested to see the outcome of the cross breed, could it
be a deer the size of a mulie, but with the cunning and habits (and
habitat) of a whitetail, or it could go the other way, and give you
a smaller mulie that acts like a mulie.

Bob,
Lenord Lee Rue recently published a Hardcover on this subject, the
title of the book is " The New Deer", I have yet to get the book but
plan to. I think it would be very interesting.
I have the info at home, I'll try to remember to bring it in and post
the address.

| 643.9 | WhiteMules or MuleTails? | CSSE::STEBBINS | | Wed Apr 25 1990 11:59 | 25 |
| Friend of mine from high school is a range biologist for the BLM out in
the Tongue River area of Montana. She has seen several Mulie/Whitetail
crosses brought in to check stations. The warden had freaked out on
some guy cause he was checking in a deer on a mulie permit that look
mostly like a Whitetail. At any rate she has seen a few of them over
the last 3 years and the combinations don't seem to have a pattern yet.
These animals are more brown in color than a mulie which are usually
greyish. Some have bifurcated antlers some with whitetail style racks
with bifurcated tines. The ears are usually mulie, and the head shape
favors a whitetail. The black tip on the tail (mulie) is usually still
there. Since she is the only Gov't biologist in the area, she gets
called in from time to time to settle disputes between MF&G officers
and hunters. They have an official research project now to keep track
of what is going on in this area. So I'll throw in a note from time to
time and let you know how it is going. These critters have also been
taken by hunters in Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Colorado. So I
agree that in the areas ov overlap of range that there will be a
distinct new breed. It may be centuryies before the last Mulie is gone
and there will be pure whitetails in areas where the population is far
removed from the overlap areas. Also there is the Blacktail version of
the Mule deer in California that is not seroiusly threatened by the
Westward march of the Whitetail and in fact might never meet up with
anything but a hybrid, and we get yet another permutation. What you get
in 2 milennia or so are dear that are a lot like some Americans. Heinz

| 643.10 | good question | CSC32::WATERS | The Agony of Delete | Wed Apr 25 1990 18:32 | 5 |
| .9 I read an artical on this along time ago. It said that the
whitetail is more agressive than the muledeer and is taking over
muledeer habitat. I assume that the mulie doe go with it.

When Rick & I were attending the seminar given by L.L. he said the
main reason for the "Cross Breeding" was due to the determination
of the whitetail and the expantion of their range. A Muley buck
will only chase a doe until he gets tired, but the Whitetail buck
will continue after the doe until he catches her (most of the time).
