Interesting indeed. May need to start hunting the Olympics again. Wonder what it would cost to get a Sasquatch taxied.

Some nice looking blacktails in there.  One of them looks like it has whitetail antlers.  Lots of cats also.  Funny that the WDFW think the cat population is shrinking.

Maybe if the state had a few more camers out and did a little more research we would have a better idea. (about the cats)
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.

just sayin...

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

As long as they are being honest about what they are finding.  I wish they would post the pics they get that would be cool.

I can only imagine they are gun shy about sharing any info...  from their perspective there is everything to loose and nothing to gain by being forthright...  :twocents:  The CYA game is SOP for most Gov employees.  :twocents:

They lost all credibility with the Sasquatch garbage.  That first photo is simply a deer facing the camera with its head down.  And bears' curiosity most always leads them to lick, bite, hug, and pull on trailcams.    :twocents:

You could be right.  They wouldnt have to post locations or anything but you would think if they were using publics funds for wildlife surveillance they would be required to include their findings in a report.   :dunno:  When I read the cougar report I was concerned when I saw how they came up with the population estimates.  They had multiple studies and basically took an average from all of them.  One report estimated population was around 400 and another around 4000.  Its been a while since I read it so could be wrong but it did not fill me with confidence.
