How are things looking for Whitetail deer hunting in Alberta this season?


I don't always venture out into the sub-freezing darkness, but when I do, it is deer hunting season, and I carry a Remington. Stay hungry my friends.

Season opens tomorrow for most areas of the province. Northern areas have opened earlier.

The past winter was softer than usual, and a warm spring should help boost the young populations. We also had an early snow at the beginning of Oct so a lot of grain crops are still standing, which will help out the deer as well.

That all said, 4 of the past 5 winters have been pretty hard on the deer populations. Numbers should be up this year, but I'm thinking the number of trophy animals won't be for a few more years. Always exceptions to the rule though.

Southern Alberta is currently very warm for this time of year. Deer will be seeking daytime shade.
