The Laramie area had very little snow...those pronghorn are doing pretty good. Not sure if the 50 tag increase is warranted. Tough access area with lots of small owners.area 45 went from 500 to 550?

What are the massive issues around Farson? Do you realize antelope migrate in and out of the area? There are no tag cuts even proposed for those areas and moreover, only a few doe antelope tag cuts proposed for the areas west of the continental divide. Red desert, south central areas got hammered for sure.It has been really bad here. The sweat water area, south pass to Farson , oregon buttes, lander to Riverton, all massive issues.
There is a chunk of lopes especially along the Swest water. That summer between Farson to South pass that migrate through oregon buttes south east into the red desert. Guarantee they are not firing well.What are the massive issues around Farson? Do you realize antelope migrate in and out of the area?

It's the one on post #5 Robb,Sure would like to see the deer and elk tag proposals/cuts ect.
If anyone has the link

So am I wrong that there is a pretty good chunk of lopes that migrate from east of Farson out of the Big Sandy, through the buttes area and into the desert? There are not lopes from the from a few miles outside Farson that don’t migrate that direction?So you're our local conspiracy theorist...lol...well..knock yourself out...lol.. Man...Colaradaaa must have really jaded you dude...and now your bring that $$it up to Wyoming....whatever trips your trigger...holy smokes..good luck..
Guys living in the middle of it tend to have a pretty good idea what's going on. Those that draw the few tags left this year in the hard hit areas are going to likely be pretty disappointed.Well, I'll eat crow... I was forwarded new proposed regs on antelope for western areas from a buddy that went to a g&f season setting meeting, not on the website yet...big cuts...damn...was trying to be optimistic...
And Muley does !!!Every WY resident should apply for doe/fawn antelope tags this year, and throw them in the trash if they are drawn.
Yes my entire family will be applying for asThe forecast in SW Wyoming continues to be grim. Below freezing temps for highs and single digits for lows will most definitely kill more through next week.

Yeah I was surprised but thought maybe there was something I did not know, maybe some weird area that was not as bad.Well, I'll eat crow...

They are getting questions about the antelope disease die-off and most likely unhappy residents who want deeper cuts in license quotas.Some of you may be interested in this. They already had the season setting meeting so.... guess maybe they're getting alot of questions from non-hunting public..??

Well I tried joining the Zoom meeting but got a message that said something about it was already at the limit of 100 people. Why a limit on number of people when they're on Zoom? I don't get it.Dying By The Thousands: Miles Of Death As Wyoming Antelope, Deer And Elk Die From Winter Starvation
Outfitters say southcentral Wyoming antelope, deer and elk herds are dying off in huge numbers and that predictions that half of the antelope in parts of the state could die this winter probably fall short. It’s more likely to be closer to 80%.cowboystatedaily.com
We never really recovered from that winter ('93), either. That was the first dagger to the heart of mule deer in Wyoming..."The bleak feeding conditions are as bad as any of the locals can remember, Hicks said. Even old timers who lived through the legendary winter of 1949 have told him what they’re seeing now is worse."
Sounds like a politician embellishing things a bit. That winter was 74 years ago. Damn few people around that are still alive that lived through that event; much less who would reliably remember it.
I agree that this winter is turning out to be a catastrophic event which will alter pronghorn and mule deer populations for quite some time. Hopefully they can recover. The mule deer in Nevada never came back to numbers seen prior to the winter of 1993.
Good crowd at the meeting. They stated they had more trying to log on than they could handle. Tightly managed. Governor called the meeting, Nesvik spoke for G&F, Montieth did his deer presentation quickly. They took questions for over an hour and at 5:30 meeting was called. In a nutshell for western Wyoming...Well I tried joining the Zoom meeting but got a message that said something about it was already at the limit of 100 people.

Seriously??!! You want to start **** about what state has the better size in a thread about how bad the devastation is to the antelope, deer and elk in WY is due to this winter??!! JFC dude come on!!I'm sorry wy is a great state but. It's not AZ or Utah as far as elk. Opportunity yea...but genetics speaks
The elk in Arizona came from Wyoming...I'm sorry wy is a great state but. It's not AZ or Utah as far as elk. Opportunity yea...but genetics speaks

You forgot to mention the cloud seeding discussion.Good crowd at the meeting. They stated they had more trying to log on than they could handle. Tightly managed.

In a nutshell for western Wyoming...
Deer and antelope quotas and seasons may not be finalized until commissioner meeting in April...and if warranted by emergency, revised after that.
Deer...90-100% fawn loss anticipated. +30% of the adults...and if I read the graph right +40% of the bucks. That would take the Wyoming Range herd to a record low population. Monteith theorized from his research that since body fat condition was so good going into winter that should help those prime aged adult does pull through...if winter lets up. Totally anticipated any older age class would be dead.
Antelope....+50% of the adults. 90-100% of the fawns. The Mycoplasma Bovis bacteria that killed a couple hundred head south of Pinedale was also detected as far south as Rock Springs. They did say mortality rates may be worse in the Baggs/red desert region.
I'll say sportsman's comments, which there were guys from Sublette, Lincoln, & Sweetwater Co.'s, ranged from suspending hunting season for a couple years, to limited quota for deer to regional tag quotas for residents, to no doe tags. Some folks want feeding operations for deer and antelope, some want more habitat/migration corridors, and some want the winter range snowplowed and areas cleared of snow during winters like this...plow the snow off the sagebrush...Gov. didn't have the warm and fuzzy on that idea. If there was any push back during the meeting from G&F it was on the topic of feeding deer and antelope. That's a no go and not feasible...results from neighboring states don't show enough positive results for the amount of effort. That's all I got.
Yes that too...but they didn't share much publicly. It's been happening for decades.You forgot to mention the cloud seeding discussion.
I suggested that previously and got laughed at. Need to keep them off the roads and I think this should be considered and priced out.Snowplowing the winter range? Wow.
Good luck with that the meat hunters will cry cause they can't go shoot a fork horn off the road. We're all about "opportunity" here in wyo ?They need to cut Licensing all across the board!
No Non Resident licenses and Minimum Resident Licenses.
All Residents go into a DRAW now.
Since you are so selfishly worried that you will miss out on your first elk hunt. (your words)Seriously??!! You want to start **** about what state has the better size in a thread about how bad the devastation is to the antelope, deer and elk in WY is due to this winter??!! JFC dude come on!!
Yes and your screwing with my application strategy...haha just joking! Really, I have no desire to hunt anything seeing this winter kill.The elk in Arizona came from Wyoming...
Not all meat hunters are road hunters and yes we do hunt for the meat here in Wyoming.Good luck with that the meat hunters will cry cause they can't go shoot a fork horn off the road. We're all about "opportunity" here in wyo ?
I am from wyoming. Do you hunt for meat or just eat what you kill? I think you know the crowd that I'm referring to when i made that comment.Not all meat hunters are road hunters and yes we do hunt for the meat here in Wyoming.
Not sure but guess it went right over my head.I am from wyoming. Do you hunt for meat or just eat what you kill? In think you know the crowd that I'm referring to when i made that comment.
We focus on trophy elk, mule deer, antelope and moose hunts and take B&C bucks most years.
