Manson unit this year will be hard to fill unless you hold a early doe tag or a late any buck tag. so far i have only seen two legal bucks and both of them almost in town. the does have started dropping fawns but not very many twins. even the st. Andrews unit will be tuff. seeing few deer and have not seen one legal buck up there. i did see white tails in areas i have only seen mule deer,kinda odd. turkeys are showing up in alot more places now. mostly on privet land though. winter kill was high this year and fawn counts not so good. if your going to hunt Manson better plan alot of scouting. i have 3 trail cameras up and no pics of deer. did get some pics of turkeys. PS. if you plan on going out and scouting either carry a pistol or a pole. rattle snakes this year are very thick. grade creek road had 9 dead and saw three alive.

Well, I got on a few groups of does totaling about 25-30 head. One forkey and one spike mixed in with them. A buck I had seen during scouting and was trying to find got killed opening afternoon by a very nice father and son team. Will be getting some cooler temperatures this weekend, hopefully will get some bucks moving!

i noticed the weather is supposed to take a big change this weekend. (10/20-10/22. hope it starts getting them to move. seen one two point and about 20 floppy ears. lots of camps with little hanging. talked to one group that were leaving on Tuesday and between three guys they seen 9 doe's one spike and a small two point. all of the deer that i have seen taken have been low near orchards or on privet lands. i did see on muley freek that Paul shot a brute of a buck on the south shore very low. i saw that buck last winter along the hwy.

They probably were watching the same group I was then. And yeah supposed to get snow Saturday. Gonna be windy as hell tomorrow then be snowy and calm Saturday. Ought to be good! There's a big kitty problem below the Grade Creek road too. I've had three different cougars come through with regularity (about once every ten days or so) and haven't had any deer come by that camera since they started. Funny how that happens. Wouldn't mind sticking a tag on the tom.

I saw a cougar hanging in a camp at Antillon Lake after opening weekend and heard there were 3 travelling together when they got that one.
