Finally Whitetails!!!



Well it only took me a little over three weeks, but I finally saw some familiar faces... the White-tailed Deer. Everyone has been telling me they hangout down by the campground and picnic areas, because it is more wooded than anywhere else in the park. After hearing this for three weeks and not seeing one, I thought the White-tailed Deer of TR are mythical creatures that really don’t exist. But this morning I finally found them and plenty of evidence that they hang out there often. Two species of deer live in the park... the more common Mule Deer can be seen all over the park, they are less afraid of people, have bigger ears, and a black tip on their tails.
