So the regs say you cannot shoot spotted kittens or a female with spotted kittens. Im not interested in the kittens but would take the female. Would you guys say these kittens are spotted or not!

They look spotted to me, however each kitten accounts for a lot of elk & deer in their lifetime....so....

Great pics!
Pretty iffy on the spotted question. I don't think in the field that a person would be able to determine that they were spotted.

Not distinctly spotted but indeed "blotchy". Low light judgement call. Broad daylight, I'd pass.

Wait until just before the season ends, then round up some buddies with enough tags and whack-em and stack-em.

1 deer/elk per week = 52 deer/elk per year x 3 = 156 deer/elk per year. Wait a week for the blotches to fall off, then get two of your buddies and hunt them sumbitches down.

They may eat (1) deer or elk per week, but how many do they kill??? A friend of mine found (3) dead deer under one tree - Lincoln Creek area I believe. Guess who was sitting 20 feet up guarding them. He thought the Tom might still be hungry so he fed him a lead supplement......
I see spots unfortunately though
