I'll say this, the first year I hunted Union I came up on two bucks bedded down together that I could of sworn looked a lot like a Mulie. Got back to camp and asked my buddy "who owns a camp on the lake" if NY had Mule deer...he laughed at me....I took that as "NO". I have seen and taken a few large Whitetail over the years but these were definitely the biggest I had ever seen in 35 years of hunting.
I still think they were some type of cross/hybrid between the two species. My buddy was telling me what I probably saw was what is called the Adirondack buck, a sub-species of the North American whitetail and the Canadian / Quebec species.
Any truth to that, that you know of?
