Kirk...I wasn't all that far from where those photos were taken yesterday. I know all that country very well. The deer and elk population is sure taking a dive up there...compared to what it once was!  
Yup... 20 years ago you had to be careful driving at dusk or you were getting a bumper crop...

We cut two different sets of fresh mountain lion tracks up on top on Saturday. That's the first time I've seen big cat signs up in that area. Those big cats will definitely thin the deer and elk population.

That's the first time in a long time i haven't run into a herd of elk this time of year too. They are typically bunched up in large numbers and pretty hard to miss.

hiya Ron( tree killer)
awesome buck- cool hunt too.
 just one quick question- how do you find the response of the blacktails to rattling and other forms of calling.
we have the smaller Sitka blacktail up here, and we do really well with a fawn bleat- but i have also seen animals totally ignore it too!
just wondering what your experience was with calling these guys!
thanks
