Last several nights.
« on: September 29, 2021, 07:29:38 AM »
 The wolves are howling out behind the house. Drove from one end of the ranch to the other and back and for the first time in thirty years did not see a single deer. 156 dead deer from blue tongue in the city of Colville, I've found six here. Starting to wonder if we will have a Whitetail population in a few years. Appears that it is all working out the way the Department of predator propagation wants it to. :( :

That is not good to hear. Been hunting up your way since I was a little kid and have watched the ebb and flow of the deer population.

The perfect storm. Animal rights groups are celebrating spread of wolves and the downfall of ungulates which will herald further restrictions on hunting. It took conservationists 100 years to bring back wildlife populations to abundance and animal rights activists 30 years to destroy them again.

 Found two more dead does, likely from blue tongue.
Talked to a bow hunter who on opening morning of the elk season who called two wolves in with a bugle. He said they would not run off even after standing up and yelling at them.

 :yeah:.....Yes sir, I said in another thread that by the time my 3 year old grandson is 25 hunting will only be for the elites, two reasons, game will be rare and so will gun ownership, folks who hunt will do so by special permits handed out by the government and those folks will already be holding special permits that allows them to own a gun. Hope I'm wrong as wrong can be.

Which likely means a bumper crop of coyote next year... folks might need to not pass up knocking them down, even into the spring.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
