I figured out the pics are too big, now I have to figure out how to resize them.

I just got back last Tuesday from my late archery hunt in GMU 204 and saw 2 doe and what looked to be buck chasing them but horns must have been too small to see even at 80 yards. Was frustrating to find more and more fresh print in the 9 inches of snow going out to my "spot" every morning. Seems like the private land I have and in conjunction with the other private land in the area that maybe the deer have gone nocturnal? Tag soup for me.

Whitey rut was quick and fairly early here in 204. Saw a couple still at it on the 27th, but pickings were slim for the most part.

This is a photo of the deer JACKMAN was talking about.

WOW THAT IS A STUD!!! Got any other views of that magnificent animal  . I hope so it looks awesome. There really should be a real story to do that animal justice. GREAT JOB  .

Crazy. Nobody here is seeing hardly any rut activity in the 101 east of the 204, Weird....

Why is that weird? With it being December 8th, the rut should have been done a couple weeks ago. What am I missing? Was the rut expected to be late this year for some reason?

Weird is right. I know the locals haven't seen any normal activity. The deer are almost crazy during the rut here. I think it was the goofy weather and I live here unlike some who don't see it. They are so stupid, it's crazy. Walking down the roads and not caring, or run across roads without any regard to being hit by a car/truck. Weird for sure.

wolves.......

5 were seen during rifle season near the gold mine......

Wolves near chesaw?  Thought I saw 2 run up the hill behind the house at the wildlife area, last weekend. Could not b sure but if they weren't then that's the 2 biggest coyotes there ever was. I hope not.

I've been told of sightings from Bonaparte to Wauconda to Omak. All within the last couple years.

Not near Bonaparte, just coyotes....big coyotes...
