Re: Region 5 Deer activity
5-1 and I haven’t seen anything with horns in weeks.. well except for two fork bucks both with only one antler... and that was the day after any buck julie closed.
It seems every very where I go it’s littered with wolf tracks..
Re: Region 5 Deer activity
Low numbers this year. Im getting tired of saying this.
5-02 was full of wolf tracks. Our moose hunt was a major bust. The ranchers cattle are getting hit hard by wolves too, i guess to supplement their diet if game is low.
Even the local butchers arent busy, so it wasnt just us.
Still, they are there somewhere
Re: Region 5 Deer activity
South 5-14 and North 5-03 had surprisingly few deer around. All the deer we saw pretty well were around small aspen thickets. In a week on crown land we saw maybe 25 deer and all were antlerless. Saw two cougars in the bush while hunting as well.
Re: Region 5 Deer activity
Been seeing deer all over, but haven't really been out deer hunting yet... that being said, have only seen what I would consider shooters during September archery and one in the headlights about 2 weeks ago. Been itching to go check trail cams, but they're in my archery spot and probably wont check them until probably the last day of 4 point season. Did manage to get buddy his moose in region 5 within 2 or 3 hours...
Re: Region 5 Deer activity
Gang Ranch has very good numbers of deer this year. Many decent bucks. I would drive in from Farwell Canyon and hunt the area.
Re: Region 5 Deer activity
just checked my trail cam on some private property in the Q area and only had two 3 pointers show up lately at last light though.
Re: Region 5 Deer activity
thanks everyone for info. I figure they gotta be around somewhere, likely a few haven't shown up yet due to lack of snow in mtns. Not looking for any spots, just curious if this rumour was anecdotal info or BS.
Re: Region 5 Deer activity
I'm seeing normal numbers for my area. The sky is not falling.
Re: Region 5 Deer activity
She's also been clear and bright out at night. Most deer I have seen lately have been bedded...
