Mule Deer in Texas
Mule deer are a characteristic big-game species of western and northwestern Texas, with important populations in the Trans-Pecos and portions of the Panhandle and Rolling Plains. Their large ears, black-tipped tail and branching antlers distinguish them from white-tailed deer. TPWD habitat and hunting resources are the authoritative place to confirm current distribution and regulations.
