Discussed extensively in this thread: http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/showth...mpaign-started

Conclusion with Biologist input: Self serving bunch of lies purported to support a hidden local agenda.

Have a read if you're still interested.

Thanks for the link, Nog. I missed that thread. I did read through it. I appreciated the responses from the Wildlife biologists that Scott G. emailed

Agreed. Case closed

My neck of the woods is littered with rat wt, least amount of wt I've seen around in my 7yrs here. Yet to whack a doe and I get my 2 bucks every year out region 4,8. A guy could whack a doe or 2 every year wouldn't make a difference on population. More thinning of them would have helped lower the dog explosion we now have on our hands. Eating deer steady right behind the house, and I've yet to lay eyes on one...

Ya they get skittish when hunted, shocker but its true. lol The numbers are still there after quite a few seasons of GOS WT doe hunting, in fact they continue to colonise new areas throughout the province. But they're not standing in the ditch feeding as you drive by them any more I guess that's just too hard to deal with for the few who think their half a dozen road hunts a year make them ungulate experts and many times more knowledgeable than biologists that spend their whole careers studying deer, and have decades of data at their finger tips.

A bunch of freaking morons there is no shortage of WT deer in the east kootenay just a lot of lazy hunters who will not walk 50 feet from there truck to hunt a deer.

I agree 100%. As far as I am concerned stand hunting and or still hunting is the only way to go. There are states in the US that only allow you to take a WT buck after you have taken an
Antlerless WT. They are just to cagey and spooky for road hunting. I have found that WT does are getting just as wary as WT bucks.

But they're so tiny! Tasty though. They are some smart however, and will always adapt.
