I had my nephew to entertain for the day so i decided to go for a cruise up around Blue Mesa Reservoir. The Deer I saw on the Cerro Summit towards Montrose looked to be in pretty good shape. That soon changed as we drove further east. Around the Blue Mesa Dam we could see small groups of deer here and there. There had been some melting in the last few days and there were some patches of bare ground but i'm betting they were picked over pretty good. We could see snow machine tracks going in and out of areas and I am assuming that they were involved in feeding operations. The telling thing is that I saw no bucks and no fawns. I hope they were hiding but I'm afraid they were under the snow. I didn't go east of the Dam but I know that area gets more snow.
here is a picture of a group of does via 18X optical zoom, the younger one on the right had it's ears haging down and i'd bet it won't last long.
We also saw Antelope where i wouldn't ex[ect to see them.
Pretty dismal,
