That's great, my Grandfather had a ranch down on Beaver Creek, he would ride his horse up to Shrive and Peterson canyons when the deer had migrated down and said he would lose count when got over a thousand! In the 80's I talked to a retired Gamie that would haul hay up there for the deer in the winter, he said you would easily count 400-500 deer in Shrive at that time, when I told my Grandfather he said "that's to bad" and told me his horse scouting stories, I thought wow, what a sight it must have been.
Glad to see some are tiring to restore what they can, sorry I missed it.

I suppose most of you by now have heard of a predator pit? Last fall, last winter, and this spring we drove though thousands of acres of bitter brush, but no deer.

The only help the deer herds are going to get will have to come from the guns at this point, and even then I think it is too late.

What will we do with the guns sell them to make money to buy more Bitter brush?


I think he meant guns to remove predators.
