I’m guessing you were in the area while whitetail does were open for gos or maybe the youth November and some idiot shot it, gutted it then someone from their hunting party informed them it was a mule deer. Pretty common these days with the amount of newbie idiots that just get handed licenses in todays participation trophy society now that hunting has become a fad. Most have zero clue about wildlife and somehow pass the one day test, absolute joke.

Thomas/Kaido,next time you want an adventure in Powell River,hit up Lois Lake!! 20lb plus sized rainbows. They're some kind of morphed rainbows or something. Ask the locals or look the lake up on KZbin. Actually, look up the Lois Lake episode of"Reel Fishing" with Brendan Morrison.
