well it looks like there wont be much of a winter kill to worry about this year. hopefully the deer and elk numbers will reflect the mild winter and rebound a little after the last couple years.

Looking good so far. Has to be better than the last couple, but our major kill usually comes about March about the time they start crapping themselves to death with the fresh cheet. They certainly are going into with more reserve I'm sure.

Now if the state would open a wolf season the herds would be killer!

I suppose s.fitkin has been running his numbers for the Methow deer, wonder how much our deer herd grows this year?

Mildest winter in years for the NE Washington area. If we could get rid of some coyotes there would be an excellent fawn crop this year. Hearing rumours (some of them from totally reliable sources) of increased wolf activity this winter. Sounds like we have several packs in NE WA now.

hope that the deer and elk make it through and we have a good calf and fawn survival rate. although i would like to see 1 more hard freeze like we had in december and another big snow storm or two up in the mountains to add to the snowpack.

Just get rid of coyotes...big and small..but dont shoot ones with collars.

Wolfs?
Been seeing plenty of deer, elk and moose in NE washington. I'm also finding wolf tracks every time i'm out in some drainages. The Diamond pack seems to be staying in a pretty small area, but there is (suprisingly to me) lots of game there...all winter long.
We did 18 miles on horseback the other day and saw lots of game up here. It's looking good for next year!

The warm winter also bodes well for the Turkey population. I'm expecting good numbers of Turkeys this April. Any observations by you guys to confirm this assumption?

i dont mind those little buggers as long as i have good numbers of animals to hunt.
i took a drive this morning over to a couple of my late hunt elk areas and checked them out. 3" of snow was all i found...when usually its around 2-3ft. and there was alot of sign in the areas.
