Title: Klickitat County Deer
Post by: klickriverchromer on July 20, 2009, 04:28:31 PM: I call them Deer because people call them mulie/blacktail cross, or blacktails, or mule deer. Hell I don't no, but here are some bucks....

Post by: furbearer365 on July 20, 2009, 09:20:59 PM: I say blacktail. No mulie characteristics. Plus, F&W considers an all blacktail a blacktail and just a black tip a mulie it shows a pic in the pamphlet.

Post by: PWN Kurt on July 20, 2009, 11:29:10 PM: Nice pics. Come hunting season I'll never see them...except when they cross the road down to the river to get a little water at 10 PM. I don't know how many times I've hunted to last light, see nothing, then almost hit 5 of them on the road on the way back to camp. :bash:

Thanks for sharing.

I hunt that area so I dont get desparate and pop a dinker. I'm forced to identify the horns as 3pt or better. If its early in the season, I'll be picky and pass on a smaller 3 pt. I think the larger BT's in the area a bench legs.

Yep, 3 point min. I think the unit just west of Grayback was changed to 3 point min. this year too. West Klickitat I believe.

Post by: WSU on July 29, 2009, 08:57:50 PM: Where are those pics taken? I hunted in goldendale last year and there are definite blacktail characteristics.

Post by: Bigshooter on July 29, 2009, 10:09:40 PM: I have hunted over there a few times over the years. You will see plenty of deer that look mule deer and blacktail. Then you'll see some that are no doubt cross.

Post by: klickriverchromer on July 29, 2009, 10:57:51 PM: I've now seen two whitetail does and this last weekend i say a whitetail buck. So it could get interesting with the characteristics over there sooner than you no.

Post by: bobcat on July 29, 2009, 10:58:29 PM: Where the heck would the whitetails be coming from ???
Title: Re: Klickitat County Deer
Post by: Sneaky on July 29, 2009, 11:03:51 PM: I've seen whitetails as far west as mattawa, and as far south from the okanogan as wenatchee. It wouldn't surprise me if they've made it to the cascades.

Post by: bobcat on July 30, 2009, 07:17:15 AM: Yeah but Klickitat is WAY south in the Cascades.

Yes but the Whitetails are coming down the Columbia from the Kennewick(South Eastern Wa. area.) Not much to disrupt there migration from this direction.

Post by: dawei on August 03, 2009, 12:31:47 PM: Well IMHO, based upon the size & length of the tail; I definitely feel they are BLACKTAIL. FWIW, Mulie/Whitetail/Blacktail crosses are referred to as "Benchlegs".
Title: Re: Klickitat County Deer
Post by: bobcat on August 03, 2009, 05:28:21 PM: The pictures posted are blacktails but somebody else stated that he saw whitetails in Klickitat County.
