The whitetails cometh....
« on: December 28, 2020, 11:30:30 AM »
Went out shooting dogs and deer watching this weekend out by Ritzville, usually go out 10-14 times between Dec-Mar, It's not uncommon to see a WT or 2 but this weekends count was 37!! All in 1 day!

Idea being that whitetails live year round on mule deer winter range.

Would seem that if the mule deer are never going to be recovered in those benchleg areas, might as well let the whitetail move into them. WT are better in those high pressure zones at surviving and multiplying.

I finally saw a live whitetail in the Monitor Flats area (just west of Wenatchee), a doe and fawn in the headlights along Lower Sunnyslope Road.  Over the past 19 years I've seen two roadkill on Highway 2/97.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I saw more white tail this year than I have in the last 3 years combined.  The population went up this year for sure. I was in the NE

I've been hearing about them in/around goldendale since I was a kid. Been there a long time I think. Methow is increasing as well.

Whitetails are more aggressive and territorial than MD.  While there range can does overlap in certain areas, they do not get along and over time MD will get pushed out and leave.  That is why Central WA has had an any buck tag for WT for years.
