north facing slopes

[Freebird134]

We often look for elk on cool, north facing slopes in the early seasons. Do you think mule deer also favor north slopes?

[Buckriser]

Yes they do. They also prefer a bed site in which provides them a lookout or panoramic view. Mule deer will seek shade in areas like the tops of ridges, under overhangs, bottom of cliffs, & on any north facing slopes, and always check out the pockets of scrub brush or sage brush. They are alway looking for shade.
