Deer Species and Deer Facts

Does are from Venus, Bucks are from Mars

When it comes to herd dynamics, female and male mule deer are on totally different planets. Studies show that mule deer live in a matriarchal society where females are the prime movers and shakers. Mature does grab the best habitats and kick out their sons at an early age. Meanwhile, these powerful matriarchs show the daughters, who inherit the family land, the secrets of survival and how to carry on the family line. It’s something of a wildlife soap opera.
