Whitetails, black bear & moose, are the only big game available, here. We used to have lots of Whitetails, we used to be allowed 2 bucks per year, I always took 2 bucks. Then someone decided that they needed to save the Mule deer pops from crashing and lowering WT pops was the way to do it by having a general opener for 2 weeks for WT does. It worked. Whitetails have only been in this area for 70-80 years, they compete with Mule deer somewhat, Mule deer eat 10 things, Whitetails eat 600 things, so there is that. But..........in area's that were poor MD turned into great WT country and it was good times, not now, I haven't shot a WT in 7 years. I dont hunt farm land or anywhere near farm land which is at lower elevations, I like to hunt higher elevations where I have always hunted WT. Fact is, MD will likely never come back, poor management, and no money, special interest groups have destroyed any chance of a recovery for MD and likely WT too. Moose have been increasing and it is good to see that happening, fire is the reason for that, and in the initial stages right after a fire the MD have responded well, but then they are knocked back to where they were previous, or below pops. Then we have grazing leases on "Crown land" cattle compete directly with MD, they dont stand a chance. Soon the Fox is going to be looking after the Chicken coop for all game species in this Province and then it will spread to all Provinces, book it.

LOL They were trying to train you, you wont do that again 673; Morning my friend, hope all is well with you all. Also I hope your slippers are in better shape than Paul's! While we've not had a dog since I was a youngster, I've observed that there are some cats and indeed some horses who are just destructive terrors and some are not. You're spot on though, or at least in my case, in that they trained me. Our bloody Quarterhorse gelding was such a chew monster I'd bring down 5' lengths of poplar for him to practice being a beaver with just so he'd leave the feed bins and fence rails alone. That worked very well by the way for anyone who has a "chewy" horse. Scratching cats I never found a cure for sorry to say. We're "in between" cats for the first time in 30 years now, but there's still obvious signs in the house and yard that there were cats here at one time. All the best to you all this Christmas. Dwayne
