RE: Cross Breeding
I was watching a program and they said that the Mule Deer is a cross breed between a whitetail and a blacktail.
On a side note, couple of years ago I found a shed of a jackalope. At first I thought it was some twigs but the more I looked, I realized what I had. Then I saw its hole not too far away. Mean little thing. When it saw I had its shed, it chased me down through the woods. I thought it had rabies or something. But as soon as I dropped the sheds, he gathered them in his mouth and went back to his hole. I have only been back there once or twice since then. I have seen the rubs but no more sheds.
