I have a feeling the mountain lions are hitting the antelope hard out in beattys butte too,,my antelope hunt was not very good,,only seen 13 antelope in over a week,,,10 years ago the antelope numbers were much better there also,,{next to hart mtn}
We hunted juniper and seen plenty of antelope but less than a dozen fawns. Did hear about the sheep killings from cats to. So sad. We build things up just to let something else tear it apart.
Hart mt started going down hill when they took all the cattle off . Years of zero antelope recruitment less then 2 fawns per 100 does . Managers rotate threw there every 2 years and never held accountable for poor decisions
looking at new regs we lost a few sheep tags for the 20 season coming up. after being able to go on my first sheep hunt this season it feels even more depressing knowing that the odds will be even tougher for the near future
