I hunt a lot around Kamloops, noticed the same thing ... lots of small spike and fork bucks, I managed one nice 4x4 Wt buck the year before last but there are NO shortage of does that’s for damn sure.
Im hoping to manage two WT bucks and a nice mulie this fall, one each month sept-nov if I have anything to do with it haha
best of luck all!!
Re: kamloops whitetail woohoo 2 more days to go!!!!
Are you guys talking north of kamloops or south? My experience is that south of the loops it's still predominantly mule deer.
Yes, there are whitetail but I mean generally Logan lake to kamloops ... mostly mule deer.
Has it changed in the past 4-5 years?

Whiteys POPPING up ALL over now a days ! RJ
Re: kamloops whitetail woohoo 2 more days to go!!!!
yes,,the whitetail are everywhere now,,,,,,right from tunkwa lake plateau,,,,,,lac le jeune,,,,,,,nicola lake plateau,,,,douglas lake,,,,,,,batchlor heights,,,westside,,,,cambell lake,,,,monte lake,,,,,chase,,,,,pinitan lake,,,,,,so yup,,,,literally totally in-circling kamloops,,,,,,but in all honesty,,,,,,there is a bit of difference hunting them,,,if someone is use to 100% hunting mulies,,,,,some of the time people are out hunting in Oct when any mule buck is open,,,,,,and they come accross does 100-150 yards out and just assume they are mule does,,,,,but actually whitetail does,,which are open at same time,,,,,,so there is a bit of a mis-identification issue still,,,,but thats understandable,,,,,,,,,Tons of hunters are still use to looking for only bone on the head,,,for that good ole trusty mulie buck

You are in the land of giants for WT.
I have a few contacts that have killed some hammers the last few years
Respect you are sharing and investing in others.

ive always been shocked over the last few years as I hunt WT east of Kamloops with great success and no one ever really talks about the spot.
Ill tell you you one thing though, in the few years I’ve been hunting this area, the WT are quickly displacing the mule deer. Areas I used to see mulies are now WT every time, only exception to this seems to be up high early season

also I don’t know about you, but I get ALOT more excited to see a big mulie buck than I do a WT, but maybe that’s just because I’m from the east and used to WTs but either way, the more people that hunt WT successfully the BETTER!
