Best Answer

The average life expectancy of a mule deer varies depending on the conditions and the area that the deer lives. There are many factors that contribute to the life expectancy of a mule deer such as the number of hunters in the area, the abundance of plant life and water or the factor of diseases that may exist in the herd.
