The name of the show escapes me right now, but it was on Netflix . A documentary of a man who had intimate knowledge of Mule deer and how they accepted him, allowed him into their herd, would come up to him and allow him to pet them...really amazing. At any rate, he observed the deer to be very curious when another died. They would stay near the carcass, smell it, watch it and even appear to mourn the loss. This may be a reason you saw the Elk tracks near the carcass.One odd thing I noticed, the area all around where the deer had been eaten was covered with fresh Elk tracks, almost as if they were attempting to drive the bear off? The semi resident elk were in their usual place about a half mile south of there later when I returned heading south. Man I just love the mysteries of critters!
Wanting to do some spotting and watching them, what time of year western and eastern Oregon do they come out so we can find them?
I think this will be a good year. Last year I got a bike with the intention of accessing areas that a shiny truck shouldn't try. I spent all year sidetracked into just riding with minimal hunting. It seems like I'll be
able to spend more time scouting and hunting this year, and picked up a single shot pistol to pack easier. Yeah, cool.
