Mule Deer

We are in the midst of a drought here in southeastern Arizona, that's why the fires have been so bad this year. The poor mule deer have virtually nothing to eat and have been coming around a lot more than usual. These girls are part of a group of about 15. You can't really tell from the pictures but the poor things ribs are showing! Jerry tried putting some hay out for them but we don't think they "get" the fact that it is food! These pictures were taken out the front door the other day, you can see how dry everything is.
