I’d be inviting up some bear coyote and cougar hunters

Crazy🤯

You still seeing deer there?

Yes, but not near as many as there should be.


Washington, we have a problem!

I wish they cared!!  All they have to do is run trail cams in the NE and they would substantiate their biologist claims of to many bear...cougars and wolves.

It's thick country and not as easy as it sounds....We have had 8 hunters targeting bear this year and only managed to kill 4.  Without the ability to bait or use hounds, they get wise in a hurry to human sent and stay in the thick stuff.

All the moose have moved out of town....   We had a very nice bull who pretty much lived on the property and he has not been seen since spring.  Weird thing about that is the wolves moved in and made the place home about the same time he vanished.  I hope he just moved away from wolves and was not a victim.  I was waiting for him to hit his prime so I could invite a lucky hunter to harvest a true trophy.  Not now!!  :bash: :bash:

I think the predators have pushed a lot of animals down lower towards hwy 25.  Kids saw both elk and moose down close to the lake where we've really never seen them before. We've got em down here, but I don't think as many as you have up higher.  Pick up bear and cougars on the cameras around the house, but no wolves yet.( heck of a lot of skunks on the cameras this year)

I'll trade you....I want the moose back and you can have the wolves.  I'll send them your way..... :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

No thanks. Suspect the wolves will work down our way soon enough.  Kids did see two different big bull moose near the summit of Addy/Cedonia road during the muzzy hunt so they haven't all moved down. We've got our share of cats. Not a big deal seeing them anymore. They seem to know when you don't have a gun ready though.
