No herbicides where I am at. It's not post-rut lock-down either. I've hunted there long enough to know when there's a problem and there's a problem. Would really like to see the WDFW get more involved but the biologist from region five refuses to do anything except give me the same old clear-cut/predator rhetoric.

Spray herbicides on your new born baby and see how it does.
Then do it year after year after year and see how that deer does.
O by the way spray it on the food your baby eats too.

It could also apparently be the timber wolves.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

The cuts have no food because of the herbicides. Logging has been in recession decline since when? 2006? Somebody on here will know. Fewer clear cuts and also no feed in them. More predators. Hair loss.

The only west side deer we saw were in yards on the way to and from hunting.

That sums it up very well right there. I also see way more deer in people's yards than I do out in the woods. As you said, the clearcuts have very little feed in them, after they spray everything with herbicides.

I had a long talk with our local WDFW Officer about the decline of deer populations in SW Washington and he stated that the main cause of falling deer herd numbers state wide was the result of Manbearpig!

No herbicides being used anywhere near where I hunt. That is down in the private timber company lands.

But wouldn't those same deer normally migrate down to the lower private timber lands when the snow falls?

No, they don't need to migrate that far to get to winter range.
