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
