    Region 3 mules kamloops area?

    Hey I'm headed to kamloops area in oct for mules and was wondering if anyone could give me some info on the area? This will be my first mule hunt in region 3. I would love all the help I can get on the area.

    Cheers Mike

    Well you will need to work hard to find them, i find this year is the lowest amount of deer i am seeing other than when i find where they are bedding. Lots more wolves and predators around. In 10 years id say lowest doe count i have seen this time a year, but we still got one in the freezer already. I would say Tunkwa lake area has the best chance, whities and mules

    Just search Kamloops Deer Hunting on HBC and there's more info than you'll be able to digest on the Kamloops area by the time Oct rolls around.

    I'll second that.. strange season, mind you I've only seen the last 3 seasons, this is lowest by far.. maybe it's time to rethink all the mule deer doe draws.

    I thought of Jelvis right away too.
    I was out for an afternoon..
    saw 10 or more grouse, a bear, 2 different groups of deer ( 8 total?) and a coyote. All between 13:00 and 18:00
    Didnt see a WT though.. thats what I was looking for.

    hmmm, I seen the most I have in years?
    Counted 30 (not the same ones, honestly) in a 6hr period walking from one corner at the bottom of a hillside to the top of the
    other end!
    Actually saw no wolf sign this past season s compared to the last 5 or so where I did.
    I think the wolves are around, but, they move around, and if so, and you see wolf sign, chances are you will probably see lower counts of deer, imo.
    Then you throw in the fire last year, and well, maybe that "helped my count" as I may have hit the "pocket" they went to because of the fire??….who knows, but last season was one of my best counts for me, just sayin.

    I would have to agree with Bugle M In last year I thought numbers were down and this year we have 2 in the freezer already and in the 3 times I have been out big numbers compared to last year and plenty of fawns . One fair example went out Friday evening with the bow and saw 27 deer 7 of those were bucks and 3 sets of twins with only a few dry Does.
