How does this compare to what you guys are seeing? It would be fun to compare notes.

I'm not sure if its my knowledge year over year but I have been seeing more and more deer over the past couple years. We have hunted the area for a long time but with a local friend who has since past away. So in some ways its like learning a new place.

My nieces and nephews did ok during muzzie and archery season, nothing to brag about, but at least they aren't going to have tag soup!!
Heard even the game wardens were telling people who complained about the lack of deer, "wolves" in their response's!! To bad their "biologist" can't figure it out!! What I get from them is "climate change"! :chuckle: :chuckle: educated past their intelligence!

We had 2 whitetail doe tags filled, 1 whitetail buck tagged and a really nice mulie tagged in camp. It was definitely a slower year, only saw 8 legal bucks, nothing worked out. But we had 3 generations in camp most of the season, which was awesome. And everyone saw at least 1 legal deer while hunting.

Opening weekend I heard of a wolf pack up squaw creek (8 wolves) and I’ve seen a video of a wolf pack (about a dozen) up near the chewuch/ptarmigan border. They were high in the snow.

Modern rifle I spent Sunday through Thursday camped off black creek canyon. Hunted squaw creek every day morning. Never heard or seen a wolf. Glad I didn't experience any issues

Yep, that Chewuch/Pearrygin bunch has been cruising that turf for awhile now, they bounce around from the Baldy/Tiffany area down into Tripod and then north up into 20 mile turf. Just making the rounds :bash: Its where my dad and I seen our first wolf back in the early 90,s during a post season count, we were told, "there are no wolves around, you must have seen a big coyote". Dang thing was staring us down at about 30 yards (give or take) in the middle of the road! We were yelling and throwing rocks at it for 2-3 minutes before it eventually slinked over the bank with teeth showing, it was bigger than my 110lb black lab who wanted nothing to do with it. We had 3 pistols drawn for that "big coyote", just in case.

Opening Day fkn insanity on crack. I saw 1 doe pass by at 50 yds followed by 14 "hunters" (they were the Orange Team) over the next 2 hours. In-fkn-sane.
Got a 2 1/2 YO Friday, had a not really a chance type chance at a medium and almost bumped into a big 1 but he went the other way out for some reason. His Wife
and Kid had huge eyes and a very startled expression like "barb wire crap- you almost shot my poppa! " & "WTF did you come from I thought we were safe here!!"
Snuck up on some good spots but the bucks were all lying down & smooth 2 pts. Normal year I see a bear and shoot a coyote. One big 4 pt was hanging in main camp.
