Not too much new to report on the hunting scene.
LEH were all in a couple weeks ago, and hopefully hunters will know early this year, if they have been successful with there draws.
We are seeing lots of deer, both whities and muleys, around the area, but no fawns yet. Muleys have been steadily moving higher from there wintering areas. The low snow fall this winter, and the number of deer siting, sure indicates they wintered well. Bucks are well into velvet, and a few are shaping up to be trophy's this fall. Moose are still being regularly in the area,but no calf's been seen as of yet..A few hunters have been out looking for bears, taking advantage of the sporing bear hunt, with regular sitings of some beautiful cinnamon phased blackies in the meadows gorging on grass and dandelions. This nice bruin, at just over 6', was taken locally, by our good buddy, Jim Fox, on the bow at 38 yds, made for an exciting stalk and hunt.

Hunting pressure has been very light the last week of the season. Hunters are reporting seeing lots of sign and incredible amount of track(being made at night), quite a few does, with most now unattended, but the big bucks are being elusive. Most buck sightings are from afar, when the bucks are bedded down. Seemed to be more action with the whitetails at the end of the season, but crucnchy snow made stalking next to impossible, best chance was during low light, when the bucks strayed from cover.
All that's really left open now is the plentiful Coyotes and rabbits.
