You're not alone. It's one my motivations for getting the word out. It definitely wouldn't be a happy experience to go from the excitement of getting a buck, just to walk up on it and realize it wasn't legal.Originally Posted by oldrookie
Another motivation was seeing other threads where hunters claimed to have seen WT's and would get absolutely grilled by other hunters, that there's no WT's in the Fraser Valley, that they don't know how to ID deer and how they probably see sasquatches too. Although that probably goes hand in hand with others that would shoot any buck. I like your honesty. I guarantee a lot of people have thought the same way (myself included) that one could essentially "ID" a buck just by where they found it. Maybe Region 1 can still say that... for now
For fun, I posted up another video in this thread recently that shows two bucks with pretty much identical head gear... kind of shows how easily things can get confusing. Say you see a 3pt BT on your came a bunch of times... then you are creeping around there and bump into a buck with the same antler configuration. BOOM! ... "Uh oh ... heart sinks"

To make things even more confusing, some WT / BT / BT-Mule hybrid deer are starting to look mixed. I really think they are successfully interbreeding.
Anyway, it is 100% video/photo confirmed WT's are common around Hope, Chilliwack and Mission (in back yards to boot) No shortage of reports for Harrison either, but no video to show. I don't doubt it for a second though.
I might post up a few more vids when I have more time over the winter. I probably have 30+ hours of WT vids this year and some are actually really funny and weird
