Mule deer seldom run with their tail high in the air as is the case with most of the other ungulate species. This is commonly referred to as being tight under the tail, meaning when tense most pray animals tend to clamp down on their tail to avoid detection, making the Texas heart shot very tricky. There is enough vertebral obstruction in front of the sphincter to make this shot extremely difficult to execute therefore not recommended.
