Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 17 Sub-species of Whitetails

Mudhen,
I find that pretty interesting stuff inasmuch as I was raised in the Big Bend area of Texas ajacent to the Big Bend National Park and raised my family there btw.

I never heard of Crooki Deer until recently and I know the Mexicans that worked for me from the Boquillas area refer to any Mule Deer as "Buros or Burros and sometimes as Benados for the more educated that come up to work from the interior..

They always referred to the Del Carmin or Coues as culo blancos, meaning whitetail or more specifically as white a$$es..

The desert Mule deer is in my opinnion one of the greatest trophies out there and I love to hunt them horse back in the rimrock country, jump them out and bail off your horse and go to shooting, it is truly challanging..

The Coues or Del Carmin is another favorite and can hide about anywhere a rabbit can, and I consider them the ultimate challange to hunt of all the deer species, and they are most beautiful of the deer species imo.

Thanks for your imput, it was enlightening to me...
