R1: 84 deer, 17 moose, 2 elk
R2: 57 deer, 8 moose, 0 elk
R3: 68 deer, 15 moose, 2 elk
R4: 56 deer, 11 moose, 0 elk

Totals: 335, 73 moose, 4 elk

Wow. Those are some low numbers IMO. Any breakdown on the Mule Deer / Whitetail numbers, and or Antlered / Antleress, and or age classes of the bucks taken?


Thanks for posting.

DO we know what the total hunter #s were ,how many hunters were accually
there to hunt.I was there for the PW and I dont think all hunters drawn were there seemed pretty quite around the base.:thinking-006:

[shedcrazy]

I don't have the breakdown to be honest. I think the numbers were pretty good considering the weather, roads, hunter numbers (around 50% turnout for deer and 66% for elk) and 2010 winterkill.

As far as numbers it was the 9th highest total since 1966. Last year there was 217 deer harvested.

Well done Shane. It was a lot of fun this year and a Lot of snow to deal with walking through so thats pretty good numbers in my view.

73 Moose seems like a good overall harvest, anyone have previous Moose harvest #'s????

[shedcrazy]

Moose harvest normally has a 80-90% success rate for the antlered and antlerless tags.

Interesting info, thanks for posting it Shed.

I was there during the ML season in 2008 or 2009, whichever was the first year they had 3 tags p/hunter.

I don't rememer exactly, but I thought there was something like 130 deer taken in just those first 3 days. Maybe I am remembering it wrong.

70 out of 200 Hunters showed up. F&W predicted that 250 deer would be harvested, so they were very pleased with the numbers. The Biologist also commented that 50-60 percent of the deer were killed in the winter/spring of 2010/2011. It was also noted that they're having a hard time getting the Moose population, which is currently roughly 350, to the numbers they want to see which is around 250....possibly more tags?

Thanks for the stats! Does anyone know how many 50" plus bulls were taken?

For sure no shortage of moose when we flew this week.
