Whitetails taking over Blacktial spots in Region 2: The Video

[caddisguy]

are you guys saying all the deer in that video are whitetails?

No not at all. They're included to show WT's and BT's on the same cams. My favorite is the 5X5 blacktail buck on the same cam as the WT doe with the new fawns. Man I'd love to find that guy. I think I have one of his sheds.

You (and some others) have made a really good point about the possibility of a WT doe season creating issues of mistaken ID.

Some guys want WT but to me it's like bass in the fraser

And a few years back my son caught a bass in the Fraser.

No way! Yikes!! I just pulled that as a theoretical example out of thin air. I can see it though. There have been a lot of guys releasing bass in near by ponds, very close to the Fraser and drainages that connect to the Fraser.

caddis guy thanks for sharing..

whitetail do ever increase there range..
the biggest effect on other speceis is a stable food source for predators.. just like elk in moose country..

cultus has em. I don’t think it would be a stretch to have them make their way from there into the vedder and then the fraser

Have seen lakes in the past with perch etc in them.
Definitely ruined some trophy rainbow trout lakes.
(wish those folks from back east and down south would stay there and stop doing it)

Sorry for going off topic, but does show how one species can displace or take down another one.
