I figured that was going to happen. Along with having too many bears who like to kill fawns it's going to be tough for muley's.
I'm not going to use my buck tag this year and not put in for any deer tags in the future. I think i'll concentrate on bears. Those two things is all I can do to help the deer. Oh, yeah! I'll hunt for coyotes too. They take a lot of fawns.
You should voice that ethical complaint to the next bear you see.It really pisses me off too. A bear has a varied diet and doesn't have to eat meat like a cat. How much meat can a little fawn have that was just born laying in the grass? At least a cat goes after an adult deer. I can respect that. A bear is a scavenger no better than a coyote.

Every fawn/calf I've ever seen looked tasty. I imagine the bears feel similarly.
Hmmmmm.....less animals......more challenge.......I'm in.
For me in wyoming, yes. I had heard and talked with others on the west side of the state that the population is down. I thought I wasn't seeing all the fawns but it sounds like it's a collective observation. I don't think I have seen but a couple fawns. I am hoping to go scout the western side myself and see.Are these reports of lower populations lining up with you fellas scouting observations?
Yes, and if there was only one deer left it would be even more of a challenge. Would you shoot it?
