    What region you residing in? I counted 50-70, about a mix of half WT, when hiking around about a week ago...saw about 30-50 muleys the week before that (hard to know if you're counting twice on some)...region 8....

    The deer population is dropping by one or two a day east of Kamloops from the amount of red smears on the highway lately.

    speed enforcment during the start of green up would be better..i emailed the rcmp and bioligist when this occured near me.. three years ago counted 37 hit in 9 days during green-up dam tourists.

    Thats out to lunch . I would be suprised if you even get a responce to that. As harry said wildlife overpass . Im sure they know the amount of animals hit in areas as road comtractors have to clean them up .
