I have a unit 44-1 buck tag. I have seen several 160 to 170 class bucks that I have passed on looking for a 180 to 190. That all came to a end this weekend. I hope it is because of the Moon but I am afraid that the early migration from 43 to 44 has carried on and 44 is running low of deer. Another thing that I found was a Wolf kill. Take a look at these pictures. I thought that elk were the main menu. Looks like mule deer are on the menu as well.
I first saw the buck with my spotting scope. I found tracks going off the saddle down the draw. The wolves were chasing a herd of deer. This buck was pinned down in a wash that was about 5 feet deep. It had tall brush around it. It was a natural corral for the wolves to get the deer. He put up a good fight by the looks of the tracks but he never had a chance. I don't think anyone will be able to say these were coyotes. The shell is a 243 wnchester. Ron

If there was an early migration from 43 to 44, wouldn't it be getting better?

This is my post

I've just pissed in my pants.......and nobody can do anything about it.
 
Your point is well taken and obvious. Since mom said it's wrong to say negatives, one must always be positive, at least that is one deer the plethora of mountain lions won't get.

Somehow, that's not making me feel any better!
 
On the 3rd of October the Radio collared deer in 43 were already in 44. The early part of the hunt like I said before was pretty good just nothing I wanted to shoot at.
Ya that dog was a good sized critter. Ron
