pointer Vancouver Coast & Mountains BC: MU 2-17 (Map 26, 27)
This management unit is more interior than coast and encompasses the Coquihalla drainage. The area has a lot of deer (mule deer), but heavy snowpack can have a negative impact on populations. There are also lots of black bear, and some good cougar hunting, but the limited number of backroads in this area can make access difficult. The drier interior climate offers better conditions for grouse, too.

pointer Central Alberta: Deer – White-Tail Deer
There are two species of deer found in Alberta, mule deer and white-tail deer. Of the two, white-tails are the most common. In fact, they are Alberta’s most abundant cloven-hoofed animals. They are named after their notable white tail. When the deer run, their tails are held erect, exposing the white underside, hence the name “white-tail.” White-tails have no rump patch and are usually a grayish brown in winter and a reddish brown in summer. They are smaller than mule deer, with white-tailed bucks averaging 90 kg (200 lb.), while does average about 60 kg (130 lb.). Their antlers have un-branched tines extending up from single beams.
White-tails possess excellent senses of sight, smell and hearing and bound away gracefully when frightened. They are found in along the transition areas of forests or in open brush feeding on buds, twigs, saplings and evergreen needles in the winter, and on grass, fruit and leaves in the summer. They are frequently found in wooded river flats or in aspen groves. Their range is expanding westward into the foothills and they are becoming more common in the boreal forests of the north, too where they browse on forbs, chokecherry, Saskatoon, and other shrubs. In addition to food, brushy patches also provide good cover.
The provincial population of white-tail deer is estimated to be about 232,000. The best hunting times are usually in the early morning and late evening, but deer can be bagged at any time of the day, especially around the November rut. Depending on location, hunting seasons can start as early as August and end as late as November.
