We took a ride out by Cresste Butte last year, just to look at the scenery. We went way up in the mts. there. Beautiful country. We hunt the Gunnison National Forest, in the Basin. Last year we would drive 7 miles back in and see mule deer laying all over the place. this year had a hard time even seeing any sign for them. Might see one elk rub here or there, no tracks. Last year might have talked to one guy who had a mule deer tag, this year DOW gave a ton out to everyone up there. Must be they don't want to feed them this winter. Would have been nice for some guys to fill their tags last year instead of them suffering in the winter kill. We found dead elk in there, and in another area some other hunters were complaining they had found some also. I don't know if I will ever go back again. We stayed in Sun Park, in a big wall tent 20x22.
