Let The Methow Herd Destruction Begin

I will never believe anything else other than season dates being the main factor. At least those that say we need snow to move the migrators down can back off, since snow definitely wasn't a factor.

Odds are pretty good he's bred an average of 20 does a year, minimum, over his lifespan.  By my estimation that's over 100 offspring he's put on the ground, so his genetics certainly aren't "gone".

Looks like he needs to be named "Wilt".

Lol!

A guy drives home with his head on the passenger seat, is he driving a Prius?

If I killed some of the nice bucks taken this year those antlers would be buckled into the front seat too!!!

What a genius

31 inch girth? or width? Or were they measuring his chest like a fish.

I hunted north and high, near Canadian border, I took an heavy 3x 250lb and was lucky to get it. Very few bucks and saw no does. No good feed up high and not near as much water as last year. Looking back a few years I can see a slow decline in numbers of deer and this year was dismall, I talked to local gamey and he said if low snow pack continues things up high probably won't change, maybe get worse.

I heard lack of water up there.  Which is possible.  We were in the Pasayten the end of July  for a week and every day the little stream got smaller and that was only in July.  There was very little snow patches left already to melt into the streams. We filled all six general tags in camp the second weekend this year and all the muzzle loader tags.

I don't want to start a pissing match, but no way would I believe a lack of water up high is a factor. There's water all over the place up high through out the entire valley.  I've personally set foot in many of those areas to prove that.

This year?  That is what Steen is getting at I think
