Nice Wildbear!  Can't beat that.

Overall, numbers were down and so was quality.   For the most part I was missing a whole age class of bucks it seemed.  There were some obviously, but you have to remember I spend November looking for the biggest and the best.  I attributed some to weather, but later on that shouldn't have been a factor.   By the end I was concerned even to a point I thought they should shut down the late tags for a year or two, but then again that won't stop the wolves from eating and the natives from harvesting, so  :dunno:

I can say the number of mature whitetails in NE WA was down.. alot of cameras out between friends and there was a lack of 4 1/2+  yr old bucks on cams. Alot of 2 and 3 1/2 yr olds...next year should be good with a mild winter

Worst year I have seen in a while for Blacktails. Wasn't good for the mulies either. Was great for Idaho whitetail.
