The mule deer herds occupied this area then and they are here now. This petroglyph of a deer or elk is found along the trail at Tsankawi. In this piece the reflective spots were retained within the pecked-out areas of the petroglyph in the background to provide our current reflection in this ancient carving. I photographed this mule deer buck in the brush below Long House near Frijoles creek. He glowed in the reflected light from the north canyon rim from the lowering afternoon sun.
