Caught on camera in the White River drainage in 2014 after years of incidental reports.

Park Data Sources: As early as 1972, but especially between 1980 and 1984, at least 19 sightings of deer, were reported in the Copper River Basin, including 1 report from along the McCarthy Road in WRST (Roberson 1986). Several other sightings have been reported from the White River drainage by local guides and from people with land in the area and in 2014 a park owned remote camera caught one on film in the White River drainage and were also seen during annual aerial moose surveys in the northern part of the park. The park would be on the far edge of their range although reports from the Yukon is that their ranges are expanding northward and it is logical that they would also expand westward.
