I was up there last week. Antelope took a beating no doubt, it’s hard for anybody just driving around to put any sort of realistic guess as to what % was lost but there is no doubt there are less goats on the landscape then normal.

Elk who knows. Call the biologist and see what they say. Elk died in the winter up there for sure but it’s probably going to take awhile to see how bad it really was- some I’m sure died on the way back up the mountain, some cows probably aborted calves, etc.

I would guess it’s going to be this winter before they can really see what lived and made it back down (there are some resident elk too) and what the calf/yearling situation looks like.

Hunt it out and see what it’s like. Keep it classy up there this fall, some of the stuff that goes on in those units hardly resembles fair chase or real elk hunting.

Don’t quote me. Talked to an outfitter. He was claiming something like
Deceased collard animals by %age

67 doe
100 fawn
97 buck

Mule deer.

Devastating no matter exact figures
