Has anyone seen or heard of anyone seeing whitetails around Cle Elum and Ellensburg?

[_TONY_]

I've never seen any, or heard of any around Cle elum...

Seen a doe about 4 miles east of Cle Elum tonight.

[_TONY_]

Really? That's crazy...

She suprised me I was stunned trying to get my camera on my phone.She was a few hundred yards from the river I will be trying to film her.

25 years ago when we still hunted Teanaway there were a few whitetails in the valley.

I have always heard the stories of people seeing a few here and there but never ran across one myself.

Couple around the gap  into the canyon, and across from that wrecking yard before the gap and seen a couple around the Taylor bridge area.

Never seen any, but 10 years ago i'd have said theres no moose in the teanaway either

or wolves for that matter

What would be the downfall of introducing white tails into mule deer areas? I've always wondered why the game dept wouldn't just release them in places like cle Elum, the Nile, and like the wenas.  These seem like perfect whitetail habitats.

They compete for the same food. Especially during winter. Whitetails are more aggressive and prolific breeders. Mule deer are having a hard enough time they don't need anymore added competition.
