Mixed feelings.... Early snow

[bigmacc]

Just heard from my brother at 5.15, he has been in the Methow since Saturday, been in elevations from 2500ft to 7000, put on over 25 boot miles and 470 truck miles, no snow low and up to about 17 inches high,  seen 6 deer, 4 bears and 9 coyotes(4 less of the yotes ,  a bear will come later), "flat a## horrible", his words, not mine

Our place is in the lower Methow. We typically have a local deer herd living in the draws on our property. It has been really tough the last two years. We keep them well fed and free from harassment, but it's pretty obvious that the deer herds are in serious trouble.
