Title: Whitetails in the Entiat?
Post by: bullchaser on February 01, 2012, 09:05:11 AM: I may be way late to this party but has their allways been a bunch of whitails in the entiat? That cannot be good competition for the mule deer.

Saw one in 08 hanging with a Mulie buck. However, I don't think I would be too concerned at this point. Remember, most of the mulies go way back up the mountain and most of the whities will stay low throughout the year. so the only issue would be winter feed. As long as the numbers don't explode, the mulies should be ok.

I shot a whitetail buck in the Entiat that was shacked up with a muley doe in 2004.
