    Re: Region 8

    In the same spot in 8-12 for the 3rd year in a row. Saw a few MD does and bumped one WT buck last Thursday but it was too thick to get a shot. Haven’t seen anything since. Fresh snow yesterday and I hiked all the higher traffic areas I’ve found in the past couple years and not a single fresh track. Way less hunters than the previous 2 years so maybe the masses know something I don’t. One more afternoon/evening and tomorrow morning and then I have to head home. Fingers crossed, I found out the deep freezer shit the bed at home a few days ago so there’s no meat left to go home to. Fortunately there wasn’t much left.

    Re: Region 8

    for my reg 8 hunt this year, it was way busier than 2 years ago but less than last year...only saw truck hunters this year but last year I saw several groups blind hunting while I was "spot and stalking hunting" off the beaten path last year.

    ps I got my deer there at first light of first day for does...55lbs deboned and wrapped..6-10 lbs trim for the dog..only had deer tacos so far..yummy

    You can shoot both your buck and doe if they were side by side. Regional bag limit for whitetail is 2 but only one may be antlerless.

    Definitely been busy but from what I hear it didn't stop your safety from coming off once or twice recently..

    It is unambiguous. Look at page 86 of the regulations synopsis.

    One only mule deer and two whitetail only of which one may be a buck and one antlerless.

    Drove into my favourite WT spot on the evening of the 12th. No one had been in it that day which shocked me as it's no secret spot. Killed my doe for the year five minutes into the hunt.

    Altitude where you are going?
    In the past 15 years or so of hunting around the Princeton / Tulameen area most years there's been snow in the hills.

    Forecasts in & around the Okanagan looks to be falling temperatures with some precip for the near future. This means more snow up high, perhaps even in the valley.
