The Northwestern Whitetail is not native to Yakima area and should be kept out at all costs. In fisheries management, the state has finally admitted non-native trout and other species harm native populations. Whitetails are weeds of the west, carry disease, push out mule deer descended from the same gene pool my grandpa hunted years ago. They also breed mule deer does as they are more aggressive, especially if muley buck numbers are low. Fawn rearing success drops when WT are in the area as it causes Mule Deer does to drop fawns in higher country where there is less nutrition and more predation. These weeds of the west would make great target practice for US Army, Airforce, Etc. Good dog food also.
Still don't have the recipe for disaster at YTC
I saw a WT by Wenas Lake last Oct.
I see 2-4 everyday!! I have seen a buck with no head gear and 3 does!! Here's one of the does..
Call me crazy but I saw a 2 point wt and wt doe with twins that looked as though they were part mule deer... They sure didn't have a whitetail.... This was in Southeast Cowichie..... If you look in the regs it says any whitetail is legal in 368 and several other units that aren't known as holding wt.....
