Default Anyone watching how our Spring 2015 Alberta newborn deer are making out?

How is our spring population of newborn deer making out?

Whitetails?

Bark Eaters?...Mind you I have seen some with their head in the old grain overflow granary.

Seen 3 cow moose this weekend around Barrhead area. 2 of the cows had single calves, and the third was dry.

Most all doe on my trail cams have a fawn. Good to see.
Also the cow elk have 1 and 2 calves too, they wintered well I'd say.

Well, you should have done a better job last October! Then there would be three.

Here's a tip!

Instead of running yourself ragged trying to find them and getting into fights with fellow Bulls, you can always put down a salt lick, they will come to you.

Went over the regs this afternoon, you can not do that if you are hunting cows, but it's completely legal for mating purposes!
