Types of Deer in Colorado (Guide & Merchandise)
Find out which deer species call Colorado home and see matching apparel and signs for cabins or gifts.
Colorado hosts two primary deer species, mule deer across the mountains and whitetail along the eastern plains. This guide explains how to tell them apart and highlights related apparel and signs available now.
What are the main types of deer in Colorado?
Mule deer roam the western slopes and foothills with their large ears and black-tipped tails. Whitetail deer stay mostly on the eastern plains and show a white underside on the tail when alarmed. Both species adapt to varied terrain from forests to open grasslands.
Where do mule deer and whitetail deer live in Colorado?
Mule deer range from the Rockies to lower elevations in winter. Whitetail deer concentrate near rivers and farmlands in the east. Seasonal movements bring both closer to roads and trails during fall.
