TeacherMan how is the Stump doing I haven't seen him on for a while hope he is okay he has been one of my favorites.
Camo I grew up hunting that unit, it was all cut many years ago and deer numbers were higher, it's all grown up now with no browse, I have snowmobiled a lot of it this winter while cougar hunting, when you come into the few clear cuts that are there, that's where you see the game. The most game is on the timber company ground everywhere that has been logged steadily.I guarantee you, if they cut it heavy, that will have the most positive effect of anything that could happen. Why do you think the hunting is always so good after a big fire?Be glad the USFS is going to allow some logging.
I am in that unit everyday and I am not at all impressed with anything on "public" or huntable lands. Most cuts were sprayed with herbicide. That left me questioning the impact of the spraying on all the critters, especially the deer. Who knows. I am not a Native here so I have no history to recall of the herds here.And you really have to know the tiny pockets of mule deer, but to me, they are almost non-existant. You certainly won't find them everywhere.
