Mule deer are an at-risk species in the Yukon and are specially protected by the Yukon Wildlife Act.
   Mule deer are at the northern limits of their range in the Yukon.  They have been observed as far north as Dawson City and Ross River.  Their numbers have been estimated between 500 and 1,000 animals, and appear to be slowly increasing.  Their habitat in the Yukon is limited, and the population is subject to predation and winter weather extremes.  (Yukon State of the Environment Report, 1999).

REGULATIONS: Mule deer are a non-game species in the Yukon.
