3 diffrent deer species in one seaon

[scotty30-06]

Just wondering if any guys or gals on here have tagged out a Muley, whitetail and a blacktail all I the same season....or even gotten a real nice double?

[IronNoggin]

Done just that quite a few times now.
One of the most memorable for me was doing all three with the bow:

Did it about 10 years ago and planning on doing it again this year.

[palmer]

One Year I also throw in a Fallow Deer back when they LEH at Sidney Island...

[scotty30-06]

That's sweet.....im gonna try and do it this year aswell....i really hope I can pull it off

[lovemywinchester]

I did it in 2010. It was my first year deer hunting and also my first post ever on HBC. HBC was a different place back then. Dana was just getting to the end of contributing his amazing pics and stories. Proguides blacktail threads could motivate anyone to climb a mountain in the rain or in my case, bitter cold conditions, in search of a timber ghost. Mark was posting all kinds of huge deer. Lots of guys aren't here anymore and i sure miss them. The way the internet is out of control these days is making guys clam up big time. EDIT or to charge $ for the same stories

I can tell you one thing.....I can't wait to go back and hunt sea to sky blacktails. I dream about it all the time.

Here is the link to my thread.

Agreed.

As for the 3 species of deer in one year, that sounds great. After harvesting all 3, is there a preference for taste I wonder? I've never had whitetail or the coastal blacktail.

[wideopenthrottle]

i have done an elk and 2 wt does in one 10 day trip with a muley buck on the long weekend trip the next month when those were my only hunting trips in a season...

[Salty]

I guess the uber grand slam would be all four wild species of deer in BC. A Columbia blacktail, a Sitka blacktail from the Charlottes, a white tail and a mule deer. I believe the Sitka's don't count in the provincial 3 deer max limit if that's right its doable.

I've only shot Columbias and WT and not even in the same year so I'm far from doing it. It would take quite a bit of traveling and hunting to get it done. I'm sure its been done.

[Seth]

Twice for me. But unless I see a really good whitetail, I'd rather two black tails and a Muley!

[Treed]

Damn no! Got all three - two with a bow (whitey and mulie) bit not all three in a year. My first deer ever was a little whitie buck with a bow. Stinkiest deer ever and the only one I didn't butcher. Sample size of one means I don't know if it was the butcher or the deer. Not willing to take the chance to find out.

[scotty30-06]

Would be one heck of a pic of you managed to get them all in one hunt....would need some God like timeing lol

Ain't that the truth.



I am yet to do all 3....have done 2 but not the trifecta.

[sawmill]

I personally find Whities to be excellent eating and I love a good mulie too,the meat is a little stronger but I like the taste.
My Dad used to get coast deer that were eating off the beaches,they always smelled funny to me as a kid.

Me too when living on the island. Almost every year from 1990 - 2008. Probably pretty common for guys that live on the island and take a trip to the interior each year.

[Wentrot]

I wish....maybe this year.

[scotty30-06]

I wonder how many amazing successful hunt have gone on over the years

That would be wicked....but would it technically be over the 3 deer provincial bag limit, or are the Charlotte deer part of those different rules where you can take up to 15???

[RackStar]

I could be wrong but I hear there's sitkas and Columbia BT deer on Texada

[scotty30-06]

How do you tell the difference between Sitka and blacktail when in the field?

[Salty]

Sitkas are a little smaller, stockier and usually lighter in colour. I don't think there's a lot of cross over territory either Sitkas start up around Rupert and north. This is just from looking at pics I've never actually seen a Sitka.

Yes you are correct....you are wrong

[scotty30-06]

Yea I new Sitka deer were like the northern version on a bt.....just wasn't sure if there was actual physical differences....saw the meat eater episode where he goes after Sitka....real good show that was....and amazing views

[scotty30-06]

Why is the bag limit on the QCI's so high......is it that invested with deer up there?

[wideopenthrottle]

Why is the bag limit on the QCI's so high......is it that invested with deer up there?

due to low interest rates in that investment...heheheh

[ruger#1]

Why is the bag limit on the QCI's so high......is it that invested with deer up there? Yes. Mini me deer. All six will fit in your cooler.

[scotty30-06]

Hahahah damn auto correct......really....they are tiny that's why bag limit is so high....place must just be crawling with them

[ruger#1]

Hahahah damn auto correct......really....they are tiny that's why bag limit is so high....place must just be crawling with them They are not big. And there are lots.

[scotty30-06]

Anyone close to getting there hat-trick?

[boblly1]

[scotty30-06]

Ill be more than happy with one... Big or small, i don't care...

[Jelvis]

-- This is the year for deer hunters inn BC, the forecast is for deer to be healthy and strong.
-- get out on a ridge near Kammy in the season with your best boots on and your fave gun.
- You will get your chance to dance, cood b a big buck, doe or a fawn.
- just a little planning, stay near the loops, no big deal, a little effort and time + luck = Success
Jelvis in Kammy -- These boots are made for walkin and that's just what they will do ---

[dakoda62]

Did it with 2 muley bucks at Puntzi mtn years ago.

[Hillerbillyvan]

2 columbia blacktail and a whitey doe, no swelled up feelings of pride but my first tag out none the less lol
