A Nice BC whitey
Found this guy on my cam this weekend. It was the start of bow season on the 1st. Hope I bump into him soon before rifle season starts.

Re: A Nice BC whitey
Here is the guy I took this fall. Not too big but to even see one in the area I hunt is hard enough. The forests in BC have been devastated by the mountain pine beetle so dead fall everywhere. The jungle behind me in the photo is where the WT love to hang so it can be a real challenge getting close to one.

Beautiful buck. Hard thick stuff is a real challenge, but can be rewarding when Mr. Whitey makes a mistake. Congrats.------SS

Thanks, so tasty! Heres one my buddy got on Saturday from the same area I got mine. The rut is coming on and they are getting stupid. We shot this guy at 30 yds with his nose on the ground.

Nice job, cool bucks. What's the story on the giant buck with the black plastic?
Re: A Nice BC whitey
That fat rack was shot by my butcher. I was picking up my deer and he said" You like those WT don't you, take a look at this". Pulls it out of his freezer. He shot it thinking it was a young mulie. All Oct. is any buck here. Walked up to it with his buddy and was surprised to see that old scrapper WT lying there. Its an old buck. The ears were beat up and broken tines.
The WT and mulies hang out together in the same areas here so you need to be sure on ID but most guys carry both species tags with them because you never know. There are some BIG WT around here. My friends boy missed a big 6x6 on Sat. morning. They said he fired two shots side by side into the wood of the blind they made. Poor kid!! They said it was bigger then the cranker mulies on the wall at his home so I hope he gets another chance at it.
If I could practise some self control and not shoot the first buck I see every year I might get a big one someday LOL. I am motivated by food more than glory it seems.
