Todd,
That was very interesting. It is amazing what you can learn if you are just willing to be patient. Take the time to sit and observe for a while----rather like scouting an area.
By the way, a good friend of mine is a Basque and he was telling me about his grandfather who came from Spain and lived in the western slopes of the Pyrenees Mountains which divides France and Spain. He told me that there are quite a few Basques living in this area and yes, they still herd sheep. Reminded me of the time I was hunting in the Craig, Colorado area for mule deer and came up on a sheep drive where the shepherds were using the highway to get the sheep to another range for the winter months. One of the shepherds walked up side my truck and said, "Just drive slowly and they (the sheep) will part and let you through. There were thousands of animals. That was an interesting time.
I happen to agree with you on the mongrel dog. Something about their innate intelligence.

Thanks allot, Mitch. At one time I guess this whole area---The Magdalena Mountain range had a great herd of mule deer. Over time that has changed however. This spot is better known for its trophy elk than mule deer. Lots of black bear and mountain lions here, also.
Bev and I ran into an elk hunter who was in this area scouting because he had drawn a tag for a bull elk during the muzzle gun season. He told us that he had seen six huge elk with the largest scoring roughly 375+ points.
