I keep hearing the same thing... lots of wolves, no deer/elk.  Too bad, I was kicking around the idea of hunting there next year...
COngrats on your buck though.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Too bad the harvest statistics don't show the real harvest numbers.

I also wonder why the stats appear to be normal. I just got back from hunting WT in unit 5 and it is quite obvious that the last 2 winters have hit the deer numbers hard. Yet the stats show everthing is fine. They wouldn't pad the numbers just to sell tags would they?
BOOM ...That's funny ....BOOM !

Actually the stats for the unit I was hunting took a DRASTIC fall for the 2008 season and I suspect this year will be worse. Also its not only the numbers of deer that have decreased it also seems to be a lack of mature animals (I know that seems strange)

 i noticed the same on our hunt their. number of mature animals is way down but predation is way up. overall numbers also seemed wat down. looks like you still had a good hunt congrats. we saw 1 wolf and a couple cats. that seems to be the growing trend.
