Hello All,
So I have been hearing a lot about the whitetail invasion into region 3 and I am not to excited about it. In my mind the mule deer is just a much better looking animal and I would rather they didn't get out competed by the whitetail. This makes me think of all the times I have heard of rainbow trout out competing the cutthroat trout.
Anyway, now to the point of this post. What are your views on the two? Which do you prefer and why? (Harder to hunt, more fun to hunt, better tasting, etc.) And finally how do you think the mule deer will fair with this seemingly inexorable march of the whitetail?
Personally I think we are very blessed with the population of mule deer we have here in BC and I would like it to be around for a long time. I am heading out this weekend with 2 tags (mule and whitetail) and if I see a whitetail doe she is headed for my freezer!
