Post by: hunterofelk on March 25, 2012, 07:39:03 AM: I live in Issaquah, too, I used to see a lot of bucks around the neighborhood, but lately just a doe and two fawns. We live at the base of Squak mountain and there are a few spots that look bucky, but I haven't looked yet. Better hurry before the ferns and blackberries grow up.

This one was just off the porch.

There is a road not to far from where the dead heads were found, my first thought was that they may have been hit by a car, both skulls were on their own , no other bones - critters must have dragged them around a bit,

Nice finds man.

The hardest for me to find also, went through alot of dark, thick & swampy stuff for these, I much prefer
the openess on the east Cascades but kind of cool going into the jungle some as well,
