I hunt 121 exclusively. When I left the woods on December 15th last year I had 14 bucks in the 3-5 y/o age class still alive and on camera. I pulled those same 7 cameras yesterday and only had 1 of those 14 on camera. :(that sucks man I take it your not above 2500’

I’m all over the elevation spectrum. I’m not sure elevation is that big of a factor this time. We broke every heat record that ever stood over here. I’m not hearing any great reports in 101 either and that whole unit is above 2500’. I do think there are pockets where some deer escaped it… I just have to find it.

Our deer herds are in tough shape in some regions, with drought, heat, and fires. My stance as a conservative hunter is to make sure I leave some for next season or the next generation. Let’s try to do our part with the cards we were dealt. Rant is over.

I know 127 fairly well and some parts of 139-142. They all got hit hard with blue tongue and EHD this last summer. I spoke with a FW bio who said as much that they were just inundated with calls about carcasses. For me, I love hunting and deer meat. But if I had put in and received a doe tag (second deer tag) I would be trying to turn it back in for points. Personally I’m going to stop putting in for any doe type tags.yeah we’ll I’m the same boat I passed on a 3 point opening day because he was young
