Park officials in Yosemite National Park have issued a warning about the mule deer, labeling them as one of the park's most dangerous animals due to their ability to cause injuries. Despite their harmless appearance, mule deer can become aggressive, particularly during mating season. A notable incident involved a young girl being attacked after she approached a deer being fed by other visitors. The park service urges visitors to respect their boundaries and avoid feeding these wild animals, as it is both dangerous and illegal.
Bucks are prone to aggressive behavior when approached, especially during their mating season in late fall, when they fight for mating rights using their large antlers.
Encounters with mule deer can quickly turn dangerous; in November 2021, a young girl was attacked by a mule deer after she approached it being fed by others.
