NO SPIKES LEFT!!!!!!

I've been doing alot of lion hunting,also late cow tag with my dad.(he's 70 still at it).
I'm not see'en many spikes.Saw six herds this week(Manti unit) ,each over 80+ head.Only 5 spikes total.
Did the over the counter muzzeloaders get them?
Was the regular spike hunt that good?
How did your biddies do on these hunts.
This is not to start a debate about spike hunting being a good or bad thing.Just woundering what your see'en,and harvest info.
NO SPIKES, NO BIG BULLS.

LAST EDITED ON Dec-29-04 AT 10:31PM (MST)[p]I hunted near Joe's Valley During the muzzle spike. The one heard that I finally was able to get into had about 150 cows, 2 300 inch bulls, and ONE spike! We seen a lot of other elk from a long distance. Not a lot of spikes were killed this year...up there anyway.

I HUNTED THE MANTI DURING THE MUZZLELOADER HUNT ALSO, I SAW 5 SPIKES DURING THE WHOLE HUNT. I SHOT ONE OF THEM THOUGH. I DON'T THINK MANY PEOPLE WERE SUCCESSFUL THIS YEAR FOR SPIKES WITH A MUZZLELOADER. I HEARD ALOT OF PEOPLE SHOT SPIKES DURING THE RIFLE HUNT IN OCTOBER. I HAVE BEEN LION HUNTING ON THE MANTI QUITE A FEW TIMES THIS YEAR AND HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE SPIKE.
I DID SEE ONE HERD OF TWENTY BIG BULLS DURING THE MUZZLELOADER SPIKE HUNT, AND MANY OTHER SMALLER GROUPS.

i hunted lions today on the fishlake. saw 100 head of elk in two herds, no bulls. must be the whole state is lacking spikes this year. not many lions either.
