We are having the same problem with the old growth stands, they stopped the logging back in the 80's because of the spotted owl and the top trophy blacktail areas that used to be on public land are now dropping in animal density and the deer are dropping off the mountains into the farm land and ending up on private property where outfitters hold the leases. We are also having a problem with something called hair loss syndrome and it's caused by an aisian louse but it only seems to affect deer living below 2500 feet which wouldn't have that big of a problem a while back but with the current conditions I described above the deer are moving right into the path of the disease.

I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. John Wayne-The Shootist
