This young deer - probably a yearling - is a mule deer. It gets its name from the large size of its ears. This young deer was looking directly at me from only about 12 feet away. Notice the flies at the deer's eye and on its snout.
This shot was taken this past summer in Missouri along the banks of the Meramec River.
