[walks with deer]

i was tagged out on muke deer and still hunting whitetail in one of my top whitetail region 3 pockets and i came across a muley doe in heat her hawks were inflamed and she reaked and was not very skiddish she kept looking over her shoulder...

i said out load where is your boyfreind honey and dug out my cannon camera.

i pursued this buck but it ended up a bust...point of story i am positive it was closing time for him and he was taking home a big one...lol...

Hybrids are extremely rare. Most sightings are just odd-looking mule deer/whitetail bucks. Only way to tell is by the metatarsal glands/tail

Not talking bucks and I don’t use antlers to judge species. Seen enough non typicals in my life to know better

The ones I am talking about have a few styles of odd looking tails. When it’s a lone deer it’s easy to think I am wrong but it’s when you get a yearling that has a goofy tail and mom looks like a perfect example of the species. For example a perfect looking WT doe with a yearling that has a white md butt with a tail that is thin like a md but long like a WT with a white underside others side brown no black tip

The areas I have seen what I would? As hybrids is Fraser lake and Francois Lake. Over the last 6 years I have seen a few deer that I ? In these areas. I have hunted WT and MD in every region but 4 in BC and Alberta from Edmonton south to the USA border and seen a lot of deer of both species doing so. I have not seen any deer I would? Outside of the two areas I mentioned and only a handful and not common

In the end I am not talking 3 point md or something common. No doubt it would take them being inspected by a bio to be 100%

Its not like BC has the funding to waste on studying this with the bigger issues out there
