Figure 85. A mule deer stag in late November. The " last look," a deer 

 habit which gives the sportsman a standing shot and would 

 be fatal beyond the Park boundary. Note the double-

 of this species. Photo by Edmund Heller, 192 1 442

Figure 87. A white-tail buck, at Mammoth. Unlike the mule deer it has 

 single-beam antlers and a broad tail. White-tailed deer are shy 

 even in winter, and only a few are now left in the Park. Photo
