    Re: Get your white tail!!!

    I will post more areas when I figure out the name of some of the roads,,,,but I do have to say that in my experience hunting whitetail is quite different than mulies,,,,for instance,,,,mulies will somewhat migrate down into valley bottoms,,gorges and what have you,,,so if you find mule deer activity,,,they will at some point move location to an area for rutting,,,,,where as if you find a local for whitetail,,,,,chances are ( kamloops areas milder winter)the whitetail will stay in the general area throughout the year,,,,so if u see ANY whitetail,,,do what u have too,to remember the area,,,,put a pin in a map,,,,,,pin it on gps,,,anything,,,,and the more areas you scout,,,,,the more areas you are going to find,,,,and the more you find,,,,the more your chances go waaaaaaay up,,,,,and on another note,,,,,whitetail looooove the thick brush,,,usually dense willows and such,,,,so find an area with wt,,,and find a small clearing or break in the brush with signs,,,,and just sit and wait and hope the boredom doesn't kill ya,,,patients will pay off,,,and you might even tag out on your first attempt

    Re: Get your white tail!!!

    You guys looking for white-tails need to focus on the right habitats. Look in the thick stuff near moose habitat such as swamps and meadows or in mule deer winter range such as ridges above farmers fields. You can successfully stillhunt white-tails, just need to go even slower and be sharper. I like to stillhunt any time of day until I find fresh sign, like scrapes, rubs and beds, and then set up to rattle with a bit of cover. When rattling, pound the ground several times with the base of your rattling antlers before you start your rattling sequence, so that it sounds like hooves pounding the ground, and grind the antlers together with a fair amount of force, instead of smashing them. If your after a doe, just go for a drive in good habitat at first and last light. I'm not going to tell you about any specific spot since one of the best parts of hunting is finding a honey hole on your own. Get out of the truck to see what kind of story the bush will reveal. Good luck.
