Well you must have had a good snowshoe trip up there or good snowmobile ride. Obviously that deer frequented the salt block last fall and remembered where it was. Not a lot of food up there since the fire burned all the moss off the trees they could eat on. Burning a lot of reserves to get back up there. Very cool pics thanks for sharing
Think those first two pics are from the fall, before the deer went down the hill. Take a look at the dates. 10/22/17 (modern season) had about 12" of snow in the Entiat at 6,000'. The third pic is new, but no signs of deer (which makes sense at 6,000').
