Hello, I might be at my brothers house this long weekend in Tappen (near blind bay) and I heard there was good white tail around that area. I was wondering, is the rut going on now for mule deer only, or both mulies and whities? I already got my mule deer in region 3 and wont have time to travel out of region 3 this year I dont think. I would like to get a white tail in region 3, preferably around tappen MU-3-26. Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Keep an eye out for fresh scrapes, they will be a lot easier to see now with a bit of fresh snow on the ground. That can tell you for sure that there are WT's in the area (some say mulies scrape too, but I don't think nearly as prolifically as WT's).

good luck!

I've hunted the Skimikin Lake area (between Tappen and Turtle Valley) and only found Mulies up there. You might consider looking for Crown land in the White Lake area to hunt for Whiteys, that's only a few minutes away from Tappen. Also, I went up Bastion Mt. (just past Sunnybrae) to the lookout tower this summer and saw a Whitetail doe and fawn only a few hundred yards up from the paved road. Lots of big fir trees on that road and some cut blocks higher up, however those cuts might be higher than the deers range. To get to Bastion, turn off Hwy 1 onto Sunnybrae Rd. just near the Co-op gas station, and drive down about 5 min, and when your just passing under the huge rock face look for an F.S.R. going off to your left. I think you might have a better chance in the White Lk area however.
