PG whitetail population?

[kwasky]

Hey guys. Im new to PG and am just wondering how the whitetail population is around here? I know theres lots of moose and decent muley hunting but am not sure about whitetails. Worth buying a tag? Thanks

[Krico]

Yes worth buying a tag, especially considering they're only $15. Numbers are nothing like the Kootenays or Peace, but there are whities around and some real dandy bucks.

[The Dawg]

Yup. See them every year

Yes it is there has been a decline in population due to heavy winters but YES it is still worth buying a tag the whities are there just got to hunt hard :)

see more and more every year. mostly close to agriculture and bigger rivers. but every know and again i bump them in the backcountry in ground i would never expect to see em. seen a couple in mu7-6 this year first time in many a year of hunting. try the salmon, willow, nechako, stuart, and bowron rivers or anywhere tight to agricultural land. often see them in conjunction with large areas of aspen as well.

I have yet to find any whitetails. Might try vanderhoof area next. Only seen muleys when i was in 7-6

this year was the first time since i was 12 that i seen them there. just saying they're expanding their range

this year was the first time since i was 12 that i seen them there. just saying they're expanding their range I was thinking 7-5, my bad. Only place i would think would be right along the river on the west boarder of 7-6? 7-6 is weird because there is lots of hills and mtns. I thought whitetail tend to stay towards the lower rivers with field's and what not? This is my 1st year hunting whitetail so forgive me lol.

Thanks mr. moosin... been a few years since I've been back there. Was there way too early for a spring bear hunt one year. Hoping maybe I can get out late friday for a crack at one.

I should give you my number in case you see 2 nice bucks haha. I am taking friday off from work. There are plenty of other days to work in a year, last day of hunting season with a empty tag isn't one.

I am tore between sticking around west of pg, vanderhoof, or mcbride.

The hoof north side of the river, that's where I would go.
