Guess I'm a late-comer to this thread.
Been making trips to Ignace to fish since 1974.
We hardly EVER see a whitetail track out in the bush. Moose......yes. Whitetail...........no. Always figured they couldn't weather the wolves very well.
Last trip up (June 2010) we did see about 3 or 4 whitetail, including one velvet buck that appeared to have some potential going on. But, unless there's a secret I don't know aboot, I'd hate to drive the 1300 miles each way and pay to try to tag a wallhanger.
Just one man's limited observation.
