Dry winter impact on Elk

[justin davis]

Warm dry winter should be good on the bulls. And just because it’s dry it’s Not necessarily a sign of a bad summer fire wise. I’ve seen similar winter go into a crazy wet spring or super wet summer. We shall see. March is usually a biggest snow month. The time of year where we can get feet upon feet of snow

Take a drive down to South Park, just after the pass. Have a look out in the flats, incredible the number of elk out there, just chilling right now. I'm not a rancher, and don't pretend to be, but I am very close with one, and he mentioned that the dry grass from last year that they're eating right now has more "weight gain" in it than lush green grass you experience in the summer. That applies to cattle, I don't see why it wouldn't apply to elk.
