Thanks for the regular updates.

Was there yesterday and did not see any but I was not really looking out for them and the hour was a bit late.

Met a couple of guys with long lens :) one is a member here.

The 2 other guys mentioned seeing wolves. Did not think to ask for how recent that was.

wow..that is quite the deer farm....I have seen a few groups around but nothing like that......you would think with the warm weather  they would be starting to thin out from their winter groups abit....hope the dogs at Claireville do not bother them. I have had lots of runins with dog walkers running dogs  off leash there.  The normal people walking 1-2 dogs is not a problem but there seems to be alot of individuals with 5-6 dogs at a time obviously a dog walking company or dog sitting services
