Yes meadow lake area is good hunting, I wouldn't say it see's more pressure than other areas though. As far as the farther north you go the bigger the bucks...that simply isn't true! We have an abundance of deer and with that comes opportunities to harvest good bucks. Some areas have a higher % of larger animals just based on more seclusion, habitat, population, etc. However while a clichethere are good bucks all over the province, just need to find them and gain access to the land.

Yes whitetails will take up the same space but if there is an abundance of mulie's theytend toget pressured off the area. Typically in areas with good populations of both species of deer you will find pockets of mostly 1 type over the other but areas where neither areprecedenttheywill co-exist. You just need to find the does, once you find whitetail does you should find bucks, even though you'll most likely be hunting post rut they tend to not stray to far from the ladies as the next estrus cycle isn't to far off. In post rut I like to pay a lot of attention to food as this when the bucks put on the feed bag, so once you find bedding areas locate quality food sources and get somewhere back in the transition from bed to food. The deeper the better as these deer have seen activity in the way of rifle hunters for all of November (as mulie draw is on the first 2 weeks and whitetail is on the following 3 - so a total of 4 weeks before you arrive they have seen traffic, boots and shots!)
