We can’t go north for our moose hunt this year,so we are opting for a chance at a deer,probably a whitetail somewhere within 4 to 6 hours from the ferry.Time frame is in the first couple of weeks in October. I was pretty well set on the Osoyoos area,but saw the hunting forecast that reports the deer in that area have had a couple of hard winters and numbers are way down....not looking for anybody’s special spot,but just some local observations which would be much appreciated.We’re taking the kids,so not looking for a trophy hunt,just a good safe hunt ,do some camping,shoot some grouse ,see some animals and maybe let the kids take a deer
