Region 5 whitetail leh

[last light]

Are there really that many whitetails in the area? Haven't hunted there for a while but I am a bit intrigued by this new draw. Probably been 10 years or more since I've been in the area, usually only mule deer, but a lot can change in that time.

Might have access to some private land in McLeese Lake area if there are any invaders there? Thanks for any info.

I was unaware that it was an leh draw. I have spent time in 5-03 over the past 10 years [ one week a year ] I think our group of 7 has shot 2 maybe 3 whitetail bucks in that time.

^^^The draw is brand new for this upcoming season. Not for all of region 5 though, only certain sections. You gotta look at the map to be sure. Thanks for your input on 5-03 though, seems like they are few and far between.

Hmm yes indeed McLees" lake has whitetail deer.. several pockets of whitetail very selective areas.

I saw a whitetail spike buck by Sheridan Lake for the first time the other year.

I have property off of hwy 24. I rarely see any mule bucks, all whitetails on my trail cams. Most of the does are mules but if the bucks are there the females gotta be to.

I had a muley doe fawn out a pair of whitetails last year in my driveway. I see them almost every day and they dont show any muley traits at all. I wonder if they are viable? I'll be watching to see if they reproduce this year.

Quite a number of years a go, I saw a 5 point WT buck out by Puntzi Lake MU 5-12 chasing a mulie doe, and I didn't have a WT tag. I have never made that mistake again. I saw a doe that had her yearling's from the year before (both does) and her fawns from that year around Palmer Lake MU 5-13. All the fawns and yearlings looked like Mule Deer and so did she until she took off. She had a WT flag.

Whitetail antlerless LEH likely means the GOS for whitetail antlerless is gone in Region 5.

I lived in the Sheridan - Bridge lake area for 16 years and some years saw a FEW whiteys BUT never very many YET !
Mule Deer population is WAY Down in numbers there too ! RJ

I don't believe there was a GOS anterless white-tail season for region 5. I may be wrong??? Maybe you're thinking of region 3?

Like IndigenousJim, I too lived in that area for over 20 years. We had the odd whitetail on property, just passing through. I have seen quite a few around Lac la Hache in recent years.

I may be wrong, don’t hunt reg 5 - I just thought the doe GOS went in most regions

No region 5 was left out, this is new as previously whitetail does were off limits to licenced hunters.

I saw a wt for near Sheridan lake a few days ago, she was walking straight toward me but then ran off as a vehicle came down the fsr, I was on foot about 50 yards off the road

Thanks for all the information everyone! Sounds like they could be just about anywhere........
Maybe I'll throw an entry in tomorrow for a last minute try

Once you kill off all the moose, predators will target those "invaders" all will be well.
Mule deer will thrive!
