Wyoming Mule Deer Herd Health

[Dakota Kid]

Looking for input on how the mule deer have been doing this winter in the following units: 101, 102, 130, 90. Any input would be much appreciated.

101 and 102 got a lot of winter weather and cold. Haven?t heard how the deer did though.

I've been wondering myself. Got a bad report from our friend in Utah about their being a big winter kill in the western part of Wyoming, but hadn't heard about it being very bad from any other reports. Hope it isn't as bad as he had heard.

From what WYGF has reported so far...South of Pinedale towards Farson had it rough. Eastern portions of Wyoming range fared much better. Have not seen a report for south of I-80 yet.

I know this is further east, but any news on the southern end of the Bighorns and down towards Casper? (apologies in advance for a sneaking in a side discussion) [emoji12]

This area was not hammered with some of the snow that the southern end of Wyoming was. Based on what I have seen here in the basin, it shouldn't be too bad on the West side. I can talk to a few friends on the east side, but all I have heard so far is that winter wasn't too bad until a short kick in March.

By 'southern WY', would that be the Sierra Madres and Snowies, along the CO border?

For the most part if it's south of I-80 that is what I'm referring to. The further West though the worse it seems to have been. I just shot a text to a buddy who would be objective about the winter in the Snowies.

 

[ScottR]

One buddy who used to live really close to the Snowiest doesn?t think this year has been too tough.

Snowies are doing fine, no many winter kills being found. Lots of snow though.

We had a huge amount of snow in February in the Greys River area of Western WYO. This was what we still had in my yard last week before I left for a job Iowa where the weather here is in the 70's! I'm worried about the deer...again.

 

[Prerylyon]

That's a heap!

Anybody got any updates on this?

Sounds like the SW corner of the state, and south of the Interstate in particular had it the worst.
