And thats the problem! There arnt many..Buck to doe ratio is not even close to what it was 10 years ago! Im not sayin its the only thing that would help but if there not gonna start killin cats what else can they do??

[headshot5]

And the dumbest biologest will tell you it takes Bucks to make does!

The dumbest biologist recommends wolves for a healthy herd, and less cougars be killed to lower the cougars impact...

Reduce hunter numbers.

It can't be a cougar problem, WDFW based this last set of cougar seasons on the study that says we have been over harvesting cougars.

[Old Man Yager]

maybe we can get the Cougars and Wolves to have a turf war?

[Houndhunter]

They do and will, but thats not going to help increase the deer population

It would be great if someone here had access to information on any studies that have been done to measure additive vs compensatory predation by wolves & cougars.

Here is how you access the wildlifes info/studies.  You pull up a blank word document...

And there ya are...    

Please note this is a joke.  Humor Font.

I've sent numerous emails to the wdfw about the lack of deer in the areas I've seen the major declines.  They don't care.  I keep buying a license and until I and enough of my fellow hunters stop buying them.  They won't do squat.

I would bet in a lot of those areas they have a poaching problem.

I agree 100%. Bring dogs back for cougar hunting too. I don't even want to get started on those mother effers..... (cougs)

The numbers East of I-5 are way down. We still have hair loss in a very big way. I went from  a dozen or so does on my property to 2.

Might come check Lewis County out.....
