I seem to have mule deer on the brain,   I enjoy the time I get to spend watching and studying their behavior.  I enjoy watching the pecking order in a group of mule deer.  Often the boss is an old mule deer doe.  She will kick at another mule deer doe and often even a buck, then they will turn kick someone else and so on and so forth.  Usually there is no harm to one another during this.

"​Stotting – Mule deer have a very unique way of running. While they can run the “traditional way,” they commonly run in a more unique fashion. These deer frequently run by stotting, which is where they hop along and land with all four feet at a time."
