Proposal for White-tailed Deer in Upper Snake Region and GMU 60A 134

Upper Snake Region

White-tailed Deer

Overview Summary and Rationale

We have no depredation issues with white-tailed deer in this area and have heard hunter concerns about declining white-tail deer in the unit. Hunters can still harvest white-tailed deer on the white-tail and regular deer tags.
