                  We have black tail out here but thought they gave way to mule deer up in Sierra.

                  No water in our creeks and our well is already exhausted. Dire straights. No second growth in pasture makes it extra hard on cattle too. On top of that, I read they forecast El Nina (dry) this winter.

                That’s a beautiful shot, considering the circumstances. It’s heartbreaking seeing animals suffer from something they don’t understand.
                I get rain in downpours and then go 2-3 weeks without any. My local deer herd is enjoying my fountain water and the pears on my trees.

                    A little info on California Deer . There are six subspecies of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in California:
                    • O. h. californicus - California mule deer (Westside of Sierra Nevada down to southcoast)
                    • O. h. eremicus - Desert/burro mule deer (southwest California, northwest Mexico and Arizona)
                    • O. h. fuliginatus - Southern mule deer (Southernmost California and Baja California)
                    • O. h. hemionus - Rocky Mountain mule deer (Northwest California, western and central North America)
                    • O. h. inyoensis - Inyo mule deer (Sierra Nevada, California)
                    • O. h. columbianus - Columbia Black-tailed deer (Northern California and Pacific Northwest).
