From all accounts mate,they are a very smart animal,without dogs,anyone who has hunted them will tell you you have 2 shows of getting one,....no show and shit show......and luck.....

Personally I'm not sure I'd take one if I had the opportunity,I think they are a very majestic animal....l have mates,who say the meat is just fine,if that's the case,take the deer and elk.They play an integral part in the food chain,I rather just watch and enjoy the view.

I am the same. Never had the need or want to shoot anything other than edible quadrupeds or rodents. Possums are the exception but I have eaten plenty of them.

Could never shoot a dog, big cat and especially bears unless to save a life.

There are always going to be trophy hunters,something I've never been into,and I'm certainly not throwing grenades at those who do,far from it,just a personal thing.One of the big issues here (west coast)and on the rise,is the amount of stock,cattle,sheep,etc taken by cats,and wolves,not so much bears.The cockys are certainly losing stock,and I ve witnessed the carcasses of several.Its a very tough balance and $$$$ will always rule the day.Me.....I hope we fill all our tags this season,the signs are looking good

Must have taken the same genes

Few of the smaller dogs around us get picked off occasionally.
Saw a video from the other week of a cougar I think it was trying to take a Shepard puppy while the dude was walking it.

I know this is supposed to be for Stags. But I feel like a should contribute a little bit since I am always creeping around on here. We just started our mule deer season here on October 1st. Here are a few pictures of the deer we took so far this year. All of these people are just friends of mine that I took out and guided them a little bit.

Nice stuff @wyohunter do you have any experience with whitetail deer callers? Was looking at buying one for a hunt next year and since your in that neck of the woods would appreciate your thoughts. Was looking at the Extinguisher from the deer society. Cheers

No, I don't know anything about calling in deer. There isn't too many whitetail in my area, so I haven't dealt with them a whole lot.

Don't you Americans roar deer in when they're breeding?

Just elk. But not mule deer. I have never heard of anyone calling in a mule deer during the rut.
Everyone back in the eastern states use some sort of whitetail call during the rut. But we don't see too many whitetail where I hunt.

Pretty happy with my first fiordland deer after many days trying. Appears to be a real old boy but still with some real wapiti character and length

Got the jaw results back.
