I am in the foothills ,hunt public land,border a national park ,surrounded by sanctuaries close the a 50 year old coal mine.
All these places have a abundance of wild life but cannot be hunted, example the mine has a estimated Big Horn sheep herd of 340 head,big herd of Elk ,deer,bears that all live on reclaimed areas.
Hunting pressure moved the game to these sanctuaries and in the dark timber where one has to hunt as opposed to hanging around the boundaries and wait for a animal to step out.
Knowing this I wondered and asked I tought was a simple question.
