All my decent whitetail bucks were taken on what you'd call a general tag, because for the most part that's the only kind we have. Either sex, with varying availability of non trophy tags. Living in Saskatchewan may have disadvantages but lack of big whitetails isn't one of them. I seldom leave my own land anymore for whitetail, can't even imagine paying money to hunt them anymore, but did go down to North Carolina once just for the experience. Tiny little things, their does are smaller than our fawns. I was surprised to see elongated hooves like a sitatunga, our host didn't know that they weren't like that everywhere.
Mule deer here is all draw, no non residents at all. My first one was 183 net, have got close since but never beat it.
