    Seen a few pictures from the Rock Creek - Kettle River region of Whitetails shot back in the 20's + 30's .
    The idea that whitetails are a newcomer to BC is a made up myth by those that want to eradicate them ie The Fed. Whitetails are the oldest living ungulate in North America and have ranged from Coast to Coast to Coast to Coast. They bred with blacktails to create the mule deer.

    "EVOLUTION OF SPECIES

    It is a common misunderstanding that blacktail deer are the hybridization of*mule deer and*white tail.Even taxonomists have named the Blacktail as a subspecies of Mule Deer; Odocoileus Hemionus Columbianus. However, mitochondrial DNA testing has revealed that mule deer are actually the product of blacktail bucks breeding whitetail does. According to*theories by prominent environmental scientist*and North American large mammal specialist Valerius Geist,*during the pliocene period, the whitetail deer extended its range down the US' east coast, across what is now Texas and Mexico, and up the west coast, reaching British Columbia and Alaska.*After a retraction of habitat, the whitetail population drew back east, leaving remnant populations along the west coast. The "founders" of these remnant populations carried certain characteristics that allowed them to thrive in their new ecosystem.*Over time, these remnant populations evolved and adapted to their new environments, forming Sitka blacktail in northern BC and Alaska, and the Columbian Blacktail from there southward. This process is described in a theory called "The Founder Effect." Later, the established Blacktail population expanded its territory eastward, as the Whitetail again expanded westward, where they met in the middle. Here, Blacktail bucks*bred Whitetail does and created a hybrid; Mule Deer. The hybrid species took hold of this middle ground, and Blacktail retracted back westward, as Whitetail retracted back eastward. The result is the dispersion of the many deer subspecies that exist In North America today. Similarly, the Coues Deer found in the South West are a result of an isolated *founding subspecies that developed over time in a particular environment."

    These are the exact same two guys as in post #7 pics claimed to be from 1918. I’d like to know what they’re drinking as neither one has aged more than a month in 28 years!!!
