[QUOTE="ppine, post: 460201, member: 22555"] Old ways are the best ways. In Wyoming, the Game and Fish Dept used to pass out depradation hunt tags for whitetails getting into people's hay. It was muzzleloader only either sex and cost $5. The Dec hunts in Wyo are cold so we usually just went for the day. To be out there in the dark in Dec was amazing. Coyotes, fox and badgers all over the place. Mink in the streams. I spooked a whole herd of mule deer and was surrounded by them. The snow was about 25-30 inches deep in the stream bottoms. I walked up on several does at 20 yards. They both were standing broadside. I could count their eyelashes in the morning sun. I did not shoot them. Later I jumped the biggest whitetail buck I have ever seen out of bed. He had at least a 25-26 inch spread, maybe closer to 30. All I had was a butt shot on a running buck with a single shot muzzleloader. I followed him in the snow expecting to get a better shot. I followed his tracks for 2 hours. Then I came back the next weekend and followed him again. I never fired a shot, but it was one of my most successful hunts. [/QUOTE]
