I grew up in Vernon, Lavington to be exact and a couple places around there you might want to check out are; out beyond Cherryville (whitetails), up in the hills behind Falkland (mulies), up in the hills around Coldstream (both). Haven't been down to hunt these areas in quite a while but I would imagine they are still good.

l have heard you have some really good country right out side of town in the burn areas that hit a few years back!
If your interested, when l get back from my Atlin hunt (15-18 oct) l will show you some of the country between S/A and Vernon...........there is some good mulie country not far from you 8)
If you get up above Pritchard, towards the Martin Prairie main and check the country out towards Falkland, there is some very huntable country in there and a fair number of moose as well as deer. Also heading south of S/A towards silver creek, the burns are supose to hold alot of deer l have been told.
Let me know how your hunting schedual goes...........and good luck!

I know a couple of guys out of seachelt who hunt the christian valley every year and they always get their deer whitetails and mulies. From what they tell me there are also quite a few black bears in that area. I'll have to check out the fly hills burn one of these days I can see it from my house but its so close to town I never thought of it as a hunting spot. Mark

Probably late news for you here -

The Lumby area just outside of Vernon has really good whitetail hunting. With muleys higher up.
