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

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.
