They don't know how to swim across a big river like the Mississippi?

Those are the transmulies those don't count as true mulies in a sense?

The reason there aren't any in MN is because of reciprocity

Actually a decent mulie buck was recently shot in western MN. Very few get as far as eastern South Dakota though.

Are transmulies from Portland? I know they have reciprocity in that town.

Around 67 there was a mule deer doe shot near Princeton MN.
They do not like being around whitetails I think, which are the rats of the deer family.

It's all about the environment they need of course. Mule deer run uphill when threatened. They can't cross the great plains because there are not any hills, so they are stuck in the west.

I do not know about mule deer but pronghorns cannot survive the humidity in the east, they die within a month of pneumonia. Mountain sheep do not survive in the east for the same reason. Many eastern zoos have learned this the hard way.

I sure wish they'd displace the Whitetail instead of the other way around.

I think the moose and woodland caribou that were native in Minnesota until a 125 years ago or so would heartily agree 330.

Yeah unfortunately most western highly populated areas have many transmulies… Funny where I'm at are neither whitetail or mulies rather blacktails, they're a different sort... they really seem to enjoy the rain!
