Whitetail in Blacktail territory

[curlewkiller]

Our hunting property on the Eastside has went from Mule deer to a mix of whitetail depending on elevation.  Why does the whitetail not invade blacktail territory, or do they?

They would have to get over the Cascades to do this. They don't seem to like the high country that much to migrate over and stay on the west side.

This is what I was thinking but I have them at 4000 feet at times.  The mostly stay below 3000 though.  Is it the rain?

[Boss .300 winmag]

I don't know about the rain and eastern whitetails. We have the Columbian whitetails in Oregon , and Washington along the river that are endangered that live in the rain.

I think the state needs to transplant. Just think if they get a bunch of whitetails over on the west side that's more deer for the wolves. 
They might just do it if you bring up food source for wolf sustainability up.

The ones I know are pretty right leaning. Don't know how well they would get along on the west side.

Just fine northeast of 405 and I5

think they'd do pretty good out along the coast or south of Hwy12 and east of I 5  too...  just not close to the sound...

Im sure a whitetail deer population would do fine on the West side. Whitetail live in the bitter cold North, to the hot dry deserts of mexico and everything in between.

If you're lucky you'll get a BT with a rack just like a whitetail as far as the branching goes. But it will be super dark and way sexier. Other than that we don't want any whitetails.

 Some thing like this. Blacktail with the  white tail style horns. With darker horns .

Ah, we'll just take the whitetail's eyeguards for the blacktails, you can keep the rest.

 Once wolves are confirmed on the west side and elk numbers drop, WDFW will have to transplant whitetail to maintain a viable food source for their pets.

I've seen whitetail 2 times in the past 10 years near my place in Snohomish. Once saw about 5 crossing Lowell Larimer Rd. halfway between Seattle Hill Rd. and Lowell, and once 3 crossing Welch Rd. just up from High Bridge. The whitetail flag tails were unmistakeable. No idea how the got there, or how long they've been there.
