	Encyclopedia: Mule
		In its common modern meaning, a mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse.
		The mule possesses the sobriety, patience, endurance and sure-footedness of the ass, and the vigour, strength and courage of the horse.
		In the early 20th century use of mules survived mainly in military transport, being used to haul caissons and artillery through nearly impassable terrain, the bravery and focused intelligence of the animal serving it well in the midst of the noise and confusion of warfare.

	Mule Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mule Mountains are a north/south running mountain range located in the south-central area of Cochise County, Arizona.
		Prior to mining operations commencing there, the mountains were heavily forested with large Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir and other conifers, but these were all cut down for housing needs, and to feed the furnaces for smelting the ore in Douglas, Arizona, approximately 20 due east.
		The upper ridges of the mountains consist primarily of a very hard brecciate limestone, and it is very common to find fossils of clams and snails imbedded in them.

	Arizona Gold Deposits
		The discovery in 1893 of large low-grade copper ores at Copper Mountain at Morenci assured a certain degree of stability and permanence to the future of the district.
		The bedrock of the mountains consists of schist, gneiss, and granite of Precambrian age, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks of Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Tertiary age, granite of Tertiary age, and volcanic rocks of Cretaceous to Quaternary age.
		The important mineral deposits are gold-quartz veins and placers in the Las Flores area in the southeastern part of the Laguna Mountains, placers in the McPhaul area along the southern foot of the mountains, and placers in the Laguna Dam area on the west side of the mountains.

		On the east side of the Bridger Mountains, mule deer have not recovered from the mid-1990’s decline.
		South of Malta however, fewer mule deer were observed, and in three Hunting Districts with restrictive hunting seasons (Hunting Districts 620, 621, and 622), fawn survival rates are at 25 to 35 fawns per 100 adults, compared to a long-term average of 30-60 fawns.
		The goal of mule deer management is to help mule deer populations stay at or close to the average populations observed over the long-term in each type of mule deer habitat in the state.

	MULE CREEK
		Mule Creek is probably the geographically largest obsidian source in the Southwest.
		Samples collected from the Mule Creek area in New Mexico and near Ash Peak, Arizona are chemically identical, while some samples from Mule Creek and Gwynn Canyon are similar.
		The Mule Creek case is unusual because the chemical groups are not always spatially discrete and occur together in the extensive Gila Conglomerate which is mainly composed of Mule Creek rhyolite and tuffs in the area where the marekanites do occur (see Ratté and Brooks 1989).

		In the case of whitetails and mule deer, courtship and breeding behavior is different enough that body language and scent cues given off by a female mule deer during rut are not "understood" by a male whitetail and vice versa.
		The metatarsals on mule deer sit high on the lower leg and are 3 to 6 inches long and surrounded by light brown fur.
		In the early 1980s, whitetails and mule deer in a 5-county area were tested using serum albumin and researchers found that on the average 5.6% of the deer they tested were hybrids.

		“The town of Bisbee, with an estimated population of 8,000, is crowded into a few narrow, confluent ravines near the heart of the Mule Mountains, seven and one half miles north of the international boundary.
		Within the Mule Mountains may be distinguished two topographic divisions, based upon geologic structure and roughly separated by a northwest-southeast line passing through Bisbee.
		Northeast of this line, the mountains are sculpted from comparatively soft Mesozoic beds striking approximately with the trend of the range and dipping at moderate angles toward Sulphur Spring Valley.

	Fall Mule Deer Tactics
		I've hunted muleys in all types of terrain--in high alpine bowls in the West, across California's coastal mountains in the sweltering heat of July and August, through the sagebrush flats of several western states--but no matter where I go, or which bucks I chase, one constant remains: Deer need water.
		Deer have to drink daily, and in areas where it's brutally hot and water is scarce, setting a tree stand or ground blind near a water source can be a dynamite tactic, provided, of course, that you're patient and have scouted the area thoroughly.
		Among my favorite hunting experiences is to climb high into the Rocky Mountains in late August or early September and spend the days hiking along and glassing for oversized muley bucks.
