The proposed Sept 24 closure in the deer G & H areas was moved a day to the 25th.

For NR, Wyoming looks at your first choice and applies preference points. Those that don't draw on preference points then get thrown into the random draw tag portion. Then after a few of those lucky ones get drawn, your second choice will then be looked at. Usually not much left by the time...

A good podcast by Robby Denning with Jeff Short southwest WY G&F biologist on antler point restrictions from last summer. Short term is ok but their are no long term benefits to 4pt restrictions. https://www.rokslide.com/antler-point-restrictions-with-wyo-bio-jeff-short/ It'll firmly protect...

Yup.... Only took the Wyoming Range deer herd 20 yrs (2013) to get back up to the mid 30,000 level after the 1993 winter where it stayed till this last winter. That was after it was over 50,000. Above average winters every 5 to 6 years or so knocks them back down, then dry years, wet years...

If your hoping to hunt a rebound in the number of bucks in an older age class in western Wyoming than you need to project the years out to 28, 29,or 2030 and hope for no more than average winters. There will not be any more bucks in 25/26 than what is on the mountain right now. A buck born in...

Thank you for sharing your experience. I live in Region H and your report is truly, sadly, eye opening and difficult to comprehend. On good average years, you should of saw up to 20 to 40 bucks per day depending on the drainages you would be hunting especially during archery season. To see...

I think there's still time to start a LET AN ANTELOPE WALK Program.

I'm assuming the kuiu packs come with the suspension and frame? The whole kit?

Good conservation group but I definetly seen more bucks on our fathers day picnic and drive through the Wyoming Range than the fellow that just walked 80 miles with his head down.

Gary Fralik did a podcast with Robby Denning on the ROKSLIDE forum. It was a good interview. Not advertising another site on MM, just his knowledge is pertinent to this thread and I know FOUNDER has met with him. Gary wouldn't commit to saying how much of the herd may have perished in the...

It did not have that bad of a winter kill. Maybe a little worse than average but nothing like the units to the north. Should be some nice looking bucks this year. Good luck.

The director is leaning on that collared data evidently.. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2023/06/13/wyoming-range-winterkill-far-worse-than-thought-with-80-of-adults-and-nearly-all-fawns-dead/

I find it odd that the above article did not reference the Unlawful Inclosures Act of 1885 for which the judge used to make his determination. Eastman should have referenced it too. There will be appeals no doubt on whether it was appropriate to apply the UIA for individual access across...

Take the advice from G&F and modify your application if you've applied for any of these areas. It's really unbelievable to not see antelope that are showing up on their summer ranges now. There are so few. Usually you see large groups migrating with deer through the transition zones...maybe...

Hiring an outfitter is the only way your going to get into elk when the season opens. Most elk will be deep in the wilderness and 10 to 15 miles from the trailheads. Elk from that area winter at several different feedgrounds and are kept well alive throughout the winter. Sometimes early snows...

@nfh Looks like they updated it..

If the outfitters in G that spoke, would of in a more positive light, the outcome may have been different. The whining about clients' vacation time not coinciding with season dates was pathetic. Dustin did good. The vote to reduce seemed to be more symbolic, make us feel good more than...

Looking west across the Green River basin from the toe of the Wind River Range on the east side. Not until you drop off 14-mile hill just north of Rock Springs does it open up. Looking towards Big Piney, northeast of town.

Southern end of Wind River winter range on Saturday. Northern range. Sun is helping last couple days.

In the area of the Jonah and Pinedale Anticline gas fields south of Pinedale and east of Labarge roustabout companies that work for the operators, partnered with G&F and are filling the large sized roll-off dump trailers with dead antelope. Trying to clean-up the landscape to be good stewards...

Got my update email from G&F on current news. Updated season proposals posted. Most deer areas in Region G & H have a proposed season of Sept. 15th to Sept. 30th. Areas 134 & 135, Oct 1 to Oct 6. 3 pt restrictions of course. Area 130 Type 1...5 tags. Area 141... cut to 50. Region G NR...

Snow depth & water equivalent at historic highs all winter...now setting records...

Posted up for those that want to watch it...

Yes that too...but they didn't share much publicly. It's been happening for decades. Delaying the shed hunting season opening date of May 1st was a topic too. Nesvik indicated that if warranted, we may see something.

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...

FYI, just posting this up in a couple spots. Pinedale Town Hall to discuss wildlife impacted by severe winter weather March 30 (posted 3/27/2023) Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon media release Governor Mark Gordon and Wyoming Game and Fish Director Brian Nesvik have announced a town hall meeting...

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..?? Pinedale Town Hall to discuss wildlife impacted by severe winter weather March 30 (posted 3/27/2023) Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon...

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...

So you're our local conspiracy theorist:rolleyes:...lol...well..knock yourself out...lol..:ROFLMAO: 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..

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...

Interesting update by CPW on northwest CO elk. 1,100 tons of hay distributed so far..

The 3pt antler restriction is back for most of the western wyoming units. Not all though...curious why they left out a few of the units in Region H.

West of Green River where thousands of antelope migrate to winter range from as far as the Wyoming Range.

I-80 at Creston Junction and Continental Divide. Seems to be the worse through this area.

There certainly are, central and far western Wyoming, no doubt. In my area, those big storm bands that slammed Star Valley, northern Utah, fizzled as they came east over the Wyoming Range. There is a night and day difference in snow levels in only 20 miles between Alpine and Hoback Junction...

I'm aware there are some snowbound areas on parts of the winter ranges and ultimately there may be some losses in segments of the herd. Certainly, an above average winter we see every 5-6 years. But, I'll say it since I live right here, we are nowhere near the snow levels we had in 2016/17 on...

Cold one here to on the winter range. On average it's every 5 to 6 years an above average winter hits...just mother nature. Fawns will take a hit this year.

So how many antlerless elk are getting harvested out of those 1200 Type 4 and 2250 Type 6 tags? 3450 total tags. And seasons are open thru Dec. 31st. What is a general tag seaon going to do that these tag holders cannot already provide? Would increasing the amount of these tags to 5000 have...

Full bar...lol...you get excited easily... Could be a chocolate bar.
