ᴵᵗ'ˢ ᴹᵘˡᵉʸ ᵗᶦᵐᵉ A species of deer native to western North America. They are named for their large ears that resemble those of a mule. Mule deer are known for their agility and leaping ability, which helps them navigate their natural habitat of forests, grasslands, and deserts. They are herbivores, feeding on a variety of vegetation including shrubs, leaves, and grasses. Mule deer are also valued as game animals, attracting hunters due to their size and antlers, which are shed and regrown annually. In Texas, mule deer are an important game species, attracting hunters for their challenging behavior and prized antlers. They are managed through regulated hunting seasons and conservation efforts to maintain healthy populations across their range in the state. #jessranchsales #jessicasuggs #texasranchsales #landforsale #texasland #farmandranch #sellingtexas #ranchbroker #ranchforsales #horseproperty #huntingproperty #cattleranch #forsale #realestate #texasrealestate

In certain areas and in very specific circumstances, the habitats of orcas and moose—two very different species—can virtually overlap. In these situations, killer whales have actually been known to hunt and prey on moose. https://postly.click/ldP/

A nice looking whitetail buck pauses to look back over his rump for danger, as he powers up the side of a hill that's covered in regrowth after being clear-cut, a few years after it was logged. It's incredible how nutritious the new growth is a short time after the logging trucks drive away. When the regrowth gets tall enough with brush, tall weeds, and small trees growing back, it becomes a great bedding area as well, so it becomes both a feeding and bedding area. If there's water in the clear cut too, the deer will find everything they might need, and becomes a deer hunting/ photography hotspot. Before this clear cutting, there were only tall, mature trees that only provide food during the Fall with the mast crop (I.e. acorns, chestnuts, etc.). Previously, the over-story of thick leaves allowed no light to penetrate to the soil, so little under-growth happened, which is what the deer need to eat that live in these woods. A food plot supplies food, but a clear cut has a wide variety of food that grows back naturally, AND it provides cover for the deer to feel safe in while feeding, and to bed in as well. The money paid for the timber can also help pay for the property, and the regrowth after logging is far less expensive to maintain compared to a food plot, and requires very little work because it grows back unattended. But the biggest benefactor of this opening up of the forest canopy is all forms of wildlife, from bugs, to birds, the deer, the hunter, to the landowner. It's a win-win for everyone involved. If you're interested in learning more about the benefits of selective timber cutting and clear-cutting small plots, you can Google the terms Timber Stand Improvement, and Creating Early Successional Growth. What have been your experiences with these sorts of habitats? #iamsportsman #onthehunt #rut #therut

Can you be a hunter and a “tree hugger”? Standing here 15 years ago with a California spotted owl I banded, I’m living proof that you can be. Six months after this photo was taken, I was in Roosevelt, Utah taking hunter ed and going on my first DIY turkey hunt. As sportsmen, conservationists, and land stewards, we need to show concern for more than just the species that put food on our tables. Like sage-grouse, “what’s good for the bird is good for the herd” when it comes to spotted owls or any other at-risk species. That is, you protect the target species and the others benefit. If we don’t have the habitat because it’s getting bulldozed for another Chic-fil-A or tract-housing development, the pissing matches about prioritizing game vs non-game hardly matter. When the wildlands go; access and opportunity goes. Developers, money-grubbing municipalities — I'm looking at you. The only one that wins is that fat little chicken in the red circle. To borrow a Randy Newberg phrase, “it’s like worrying about the blinds when the house is on fire.” Think like a hunter. Advocate like a tree hugger. Execute like a conservationist. NOTE: The only time I’ve ever hugged a tree is to put up a treestand. #conservation #hunting #ESA

Memorial Weekend may be the unofficial start of summer, but it's also a great time to consider wildlife habitat as winter cover. The thick cattails of wetlands, or stiff-stemmed native grasses such as switchgrass, are the most effective winter cover. If available, pheasants prefer these herbaceous covers because of the density of vegetation at ground level. Learn about winter habitat for pheasants at https://lnkd.in/gDVbjPmv #Farming4Habitat

Habitat and Distribution: Where to Find the Highland Tiger The Scottish wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris), affectionately known as the "Highland tiger," inhabits some of Scotland's most remote and rugged landscapes. These elusive creatures have long been symbols of the untamed wilderness, thriving in areas where their unique adaptability enables them to hunt, reproduce, and evade predators. However, their habitat and distribution have diminished significantly, leaving the wildcat confined to increasingly fragmented regions in the Scottish Highlands. Preferred Habitat Scottish wildcats are highly adaptable, but they primarily thrive in mixed habitats that combine woodlands, moorlands, and open grasslands. They rely on dense forested areas for shelter, particularly during the day when they rest, and use open areas for hunting. The mosaic of woodlands and open spaces provides a balance of cover and access to prey, including rabbits, rodents, and small birds. Unlike domestic cats, wildcats are solitary animals that avoid human settlements, preferring isolated areas where human activity is minimal.
