I think you're right that Gardner is way down for mules in general. I hunt it every year and for the last several have only taken whitetails. Their populations seem to be doing just fine. No pic but I knew a guy whose family homesteaded Mazama and he had a really heavy 30 incher that he took right in Mazama in the 80's. And on posting pics I agree with a lot of the comments. I seem to remember a past thread where a guy talked about how his young son posted a small buck he was proud of and the jackarss commentary put the poor lad in tears. I posted a whitetail doe I took in Gardner during archery this year and afterwards I thought maybe that was a mistake, but I don't recall any bad comments.
