If it helps OP, the dogs I saw were patrolling the roads. Sniffing the grassy edges and inspecting culverts. Trotting down one side and up the other. Lots of rabbits and grouse out there, I assume that is what they are mainly interested in now. But did see one dog about a mile from where I saw a doe and fawn. Found a few piles of grouse feathers, but that doesn't necessarily mean dog food.
Just got home from a week in Clearwater and were PD hunts. Tons of coyotes call and use the wind. Soon as you leave the town of Clearwater. Call all the roads to the prison. Get off the road tons of Indians this year, Was hard to call my bear spots. Rick
Surprised I didn't run into you. The only folks I saw were one guy edging a road and then the boys from the honor camp.
