I've hunted 132 for the last 20+ years. Usually a little closer to Claresholm. On any given trip I used to track the deer seen throughout the day, often hitting numbers as high as 150 mule deer and 30-40 whitetail. We were out this past Saturday and saw 11 mule deer, and 3 whitetail. I know they are pretty good at hiding, and I don't consider myself an amazing hunter, but I can usually find deer in that area.
In speaking with a fish and wildlife officer recently, he said they are speculating it's CWD, but I haven't seen carcasses or bones in any of the areas we frequent...
