Mule deer numbers seem lower, but antelope number way up in the area I hunt.

Put on about 350 Km's on Sunday (Medicine Hat - Orion area )...saw maybe 8 Wt with twins, 5 Muley bucks smallish 4 points and under...A few pronghorns....small groups of 5-6 does or less with medium sized herd bucks, (one group had 3 bucks, all average size fighting over the 8-10 breed able does biggest herd we saw) about 50-60 animals in total.... only 2 good bucks but hardly book.

They are just getting back on their feet after the hard winters a few years ago.

There seem to be good numbers of younger WT does and bucks in several WMUs.

Mature animals seem to be limited. No sightings and limited tracks seen.

Was out in 210 last sat and saw 42 mule deer. 26 of which were bucks and 2 of them would have gone 170 ish inches. Was actually fairly impressed. Lots of younger deer though. The majority of does we saw had twins. Only a few without fawns. Hope the winter is decent for them.
