We were driving east on the North side of Ootsa Lake, very near the family cabin, and we came upon these two ungulates in a farmer’s field. The Mule Deer (on the right) was trying to lose the Caribou…it was almost like the young Caribou lost its mother and was trying to hang out with this buck. We watched as the two went field to field, crossed roads…
Mis-matched Pair
and jumped fences.
After awhile, the mule deer was resigned to the fact that it would not be able to lose the Caribou and they walk away from us down the middle of the road.
