I hunt White Lake when it first opened in 1998. I shot a doe during the permit season. I have since gotten private property to hunt, but I still know people that hunt the area. When the area first opened it was very heavily hunted. However, the buddy I know still gets 1 or 2 a year out of White Lake. They are there, however, I have only seen them while walking. White Lake isn't that big and is surrounded by private property. Good Luck.
