we have taken 4 does out of ormsby rd and all are in extreemly poor body condition.
last year there was alot of them that didn't make the winter but the deer look worse now then they did last febuary.i think they are headed for a big die off this winter.
the range condition is the worst i have ever seen. the ranch is being split up and they built roads all over it.
the rabbit population is contributing to the lack of grass there is a cotten tail for every sage brush and a jack rabbit for every three
UW did a study and found 3 jack rabbits eat the same as one sheep in one day. out at ormsby its like grazing 1000 sheep per section. the forage is gone even the horses look in poor condition.
