100+ head

Came across this family while playing in the woods. Sorry, not the best pics.

Nice pics. See, that burned out area provides excellent browsing for the elk and deer. I think that we should let'em all burn (natural forest fires) and only protect the structures. Get rid of all that undergrowth, and it would open up a bit and deer and elk numbers would increase as the available feed increased.

Used to see herds like that in Little Naches,, but have not see one like that in a long while......




Watched a herd about that size get chased up a valley by a cougar once, it was a kinda cool.
the cougar gave up when he got kicked by a cow protecting her calf.

If that's the same herd i think it is, my mom saved one calf by scaring a cougar off that was gettin' ready to make a leap.  It's pretty frustrating watching them all year and seeing the calf #'s drop drastically.
