Deer projections for 2020

[mburrows]

Have 6 legal mule deer bucks on one of my cameras along with a couple 2 point and spike bucks. I dont hunt the area much but im overall encouraged with how things look in that spot. Lots of doe with fawns and a couple sets of twins.

Small sample size but good to see them doing well at least in that neck of the woods.

I have more bears than whitetails on camera in my areas.. not a good ratio

 

I have at least three different sows with twins on one camera in a two week period.      I also have seen more cats this spring on my cameras this year. 

I have noticed a lot more small bucks this year than the past two years.  I bet there is 8-12 spikes / two points in one of my areas that in past years only had a couple.  The overall doe population appears to be stable but the spotted fawn this year are down compared to last. 

Bear season is right around the corner so with any luck we can solve some of our bear problems.
