Finally enough snow had melted I could get by quad into my baits. Both baits were emptied out. So far just the sow and two yearlings at my one spot and dead camera at the other. It’s go time now!
2 today. First kit of the spring. I had been running such a good size average. Was probably running about 45 pound average. Also a first for me checking beaver traps in a late April blizzard that had left 4” of wet snow on the ground with another 4-6 tomorrow they say
Tough trapping with the high water right now. Supposed to get an inch of rain Wednesday so that won’t help either. So went and broke the 17 out tonight to fill the truck
I don’t disagree CWD is a big factor but trying to kill it off never worked. Hard to shoot big bucks when they die at 2-3 years old. I have been fortunate to shoot some good Mulies and I refuse to make a 6 hour trip down south to shoot a 140-160 class buck. Smaller then any mulie I have ever shot
I went and looked at one zone not going to look any further cause I can see the deer population is crap anytime I go down south. 2017 anterless mulie in zone 1 which runs down along MT and was probably one of the best areas in all of Sask. 2017 50 youth 150 regular doe tags. 2024 150 youth 450...
Yes they don’t call it culls cause of backlash. they just doubled all the tags in the zones. 2008 was one of the last ones I think with earn a buck. Was WW3 out there then
Of course they did but you combine that with 20 years of trying to kill all the deer through open culls or way too many tags and you get where we are. Shut down almost all the mulie doe tags in Sask last year. Before we could draw doe tags every year and most areas were 2 doe tags. Now they...
lol between CWD winters drought predators and whatever else affects deer mulie numbers now compared to when I was a kid makes me not even want to apply for a mulie tag u tip things get figured out. I’m ok with less deer but this ain’t Montana I’m not shooting a 140 mulie lol
