I've seen loads of moose sign this year...

They covered alot of ground over 17 days... they saw 0 calves! they saw small bulls..nothing big or even near it. They ran into a local on the mt that said the moose is plumeting...wolves everywhere

The wolves are for sure running crazy up there. The moose may be taking a hit in some areas but not everywhere. That's just my observation though.

I still see 100+ (probably 1000+) deer to every wolf.

peak rut activity here is over.......wolves = everything they cant catch, packin up and movin on...........not all dead, just no longer where they were.  Wolves will push the animals all over the place.....as the wolf moves about, so does everything else.......

In my 22 days hunting moose in the unit I saw lots of cow and calf pairs in southern end saw less moose in the north end and cows that I did see most did not have calves(Harvey bunchgrass area) saw very few deer, but did see quite a few tracks. More mule deer than whitetail. The whitetail were mostly on private. Saw one wolf and heard a few.

Thanks for all the responses.  I've hunted the unit for about 8 years and never have seen it this slow.  Needless to say, Ill be headed back up this weekend to give it another shot!

A few years ago, two deep snow winters in a row in 113 decimated the deer herds so badly that the Game Dept. put on the "Bucks Only" law that is probably still in effect to this day.  I didn't deer hunt this year, but even after the bad winters, there were still lots of deer in 113.  Now that the wolves are there, who knows.  But I do know that around here, since the wolves moved in, there are no coyotes or deer, and probably no elk in one of the places that used to be crowded with them.

Makes no sense to keep the late hunt in the 113 where the herd is hurting.  They should bump it to 111 where the herd is thriving...

Sorry but that's subjective!

 I'm not saying it's way down but I have been hunting there for 15 years and have lived there for 21... The herd is not what it once was .
