After having no luck in the mule deer hunt here in Sechelt I`m debating whether to head over to Texada next week, is it worth it. I know the deer are small which is good for me as I`m only feeding myself but, how much time do I need there. Rumor has it that the buggers are around every corner but, I`ll dispell that rumor until I see it in person. If I spent one night there, hunt that day and the next morning, what are my chances of getting my winter meat.
Deer hunting here on the Sunshine Coast is hit and miss at best and with the local elk population exploding they`re pushing the deer out of their normal habitat. I saw elk every day I went out this season, it`s nuts here. I`m a patient guy and will sit and wait for days in the same spot but it is getting stupid here, I personally only know of 3 guys who tagged out, I`ve seen a lot of poached doe remains on the side of the logging roads but other than the Down Town Bucks, nothing. So I came up with the idea of spending 2 days and 1 night on Texada, money is very tight so I NEED to score. Also some idea as to where to go once on Texada would be a great help as I don`t want to wander on to private property.
So guys, any help on this subject would be great and much appreciated. I should also mention I`m handicapped, not to the point of immobility but, some days, humping it through thick bush is a no go for me.
Thanxs for any info.
