My uncle just got back from a 10 day drop camp in the same area and no one in there group got an animal this year. He only saw one cat and one bear the entire time. No legal bucks... 
Its no secret where these bucks were shot, but you got to understand the camp of guys that got them are AWESOME hunters and really know their stuff... their the kind of guys that workout 6 days a week just for the high hunt each year and they'll glass up bucks from camp, and pack an overnight bag in their pack and go after that particular buck and not get him till the following day or two... They work for their deer and they seem to have that "luck" that some have when it comes to hunting high country mulies...
From what I heard that area got hammered during the high hunt this year because of these pictures and the information that imho got tossed around too loosely...
