Magnum_Willys is "right on" with the Halloween Day BT's. Won't miss that this year...

Muley's:  Hunted near summit of Old Blewett Pass Tuesday 10/17 when first storm front rolled in... "Mt Biked" and "Hoofed" spur roads and game trails... fierce winds and rain on top ... "Nothing!" ... packed up vehicle and heading back down to camp around noon on Old Blewett road thinking negative thoughts ... no sign, early season dry conditions, little water for animals, predator impact, over hunted, no deer or probably bedded down in thick cover during big storm, etc. ... mid way down mountain, drove around corner ...

"Low & Behold!" whole herd all bunched up and running down road ... quick count of 10+ (of what could see on road) ... multiple bodies, ears & rears and deer parts instantly flying over edge and through brush heading down hill as turned the bend before could even get tail end herd count (definitely more already heading down hill with a sea of ears moving through brush "how surreal")... looking for horns between ears...maybe one... herd moved like a school of fish in unison... fake left, fake right and left again, then down hill trying to distract pursuer ... possible buck ran up hill with last big doe standing in middle of road looking up hill, then headed down hill to join others.
 
Stopped abruptly, "Action Over in a Flash" before could even jump out ... Chance Encounter Aftermath: same ole' countryside... as if they were never there ... just happened to be in "Right Place @ Right Time" ...  2 other hunter trucks immediately drove by quickly and never knew what they just passed up.  Point Being: during Big Storm on Top... witnessed Muley's all herded up on wind break side of mountain and moving down hill fast to ravine bottom thick cover.  ... and Think Positive even when signs look bleak ... old cliche true... "They are Where You Find Them".
