Just came back today from Trout Creek-Commanda. 3 does down on first day, only 4 more deer seen during the rest of the week, none dispatched. Boy,they sure got smart, fast.:ninja:

first week was a tough go in port loring area from what I have heard from neighbours, etc.

We are close in WMU 47
Only saw two deer in 7 days in the field.
One buck is in the freezer

Is there lots of sighn of coyotes or wolves in the area??
I’m heading up next weekend. Might pick up a wolf tag just to have in the pocket.

In 47 today, Super quite. Only some plinkering heard at noon time.

three wolves patrolled our land on Wednesday.......didn't see a deer track after that.

We returned yesterday. Filled our two doe tags and got a 7 pointer as well. Two of the deer were shot on Sunday and the other was on Tuesday. The coyotes arrived through the night Wednesday night and cleaned up all three gut piles. There were many more deer to be had, lots of fresh tracks every day but didn't spot another buck.

Hunted second week in Port Loring area, the snow did reveal some tracks but did not see deer for 4 days dogging and blocking with 13 guys, 5th day we changed things up as most tracks headed east, set up a block line and took 4 deer that day. We are seeing an increase in coyote/wolf activity over the last few years and definately need to thin them out. Also seeing adult moose but no calves.

Bubba14, did you see tracks around your gut piles or just gone?

We hunted the first week near Restoule. We ended up with a 4 deer total big doe and 3 fawns. This had to be the quietest week i can remember in hunting the area for over 20 years. Heard very little shooting going on in the area. Locals said there has been a pile of coyote and wolf in the area this year. One guy said he knew about 5 does with twins in the spring that were alone by mid summer.
