Take Hwy 3 west towards christina lake....any side roads before Nancy Green lake will have deer....I like shields creek, almost right across the road from the lake.

And sheep creek. Lots of whiteys around and up in higher elevations where you would not think..Get yourself a BC backroads map and check out the roads..

Sheep creek is very good, just getting very grown up....

Pend D'Oreille. The brush in the old burn is chock full of whitetail. It gets a bit of traffic tho.

used to have good luck behind the golf course.....but that was back in the 80's......probably all private with mansion now....

Also had good luck down towards Trail and the Pend D'Oreille.

Cheers

Rialto FSR later in the season.
Know a few people who have taken bucks off that powerline.
