Coalville to echo jct (5miles)
elk killed everyday. Have seen as many as 9 in one day!
Deer are like rabbits, to many to count :-(

 

[hossblur]

Heartbreaking.

 

[yoteduster]

Yep it's a very sad thing that's happening to our big game herds

There is a rumor going around that a certain foundation just got a big shot in the arm. Let's hope they put it to good use...

 

[yoteduster]

All we can do is hope.these organizations know what needs to be done.. They just need to turn loose of the cash

 

[Wyo_Roadhunter]

Expo day there was a ton of elk hit right after you make the bend at the dam at echo. Deer smashed all over from kemmerer to evanston.

 

[Horsecorn]

Just terrible.

 

[schoolhousegrizz]

This winter is shaping up to be pretty rough. The below normal temps seem to have no end in site.

 

[Horsecorn]

Where’s the cheapest place to get deer pellets?

 

[BrowningRage]

Global Warming would be a good thing...

 

[PleaseDear]

Echo to Evanston yesterday, elk and moose on both sides of the I-80 and in the median, dead.



Terrible,



Robb

Cargill in Odgen you can get the feed the DWR is using. 24.00 bag if you buy a pallet. Most feed stores carry Antler Max. It has the best protein value for deer but plan on 26.00-30.00 a bag

 

[travishunter3006]

big game killed on 1-80 near echo can be mitigated in literally the easiest fashion… step down the speed to 30 mph through that area. Super easy. The end.

 

[Bux n Dux]

don’t tell us, tell $FW! They just made a pile of spending cash last weekend from the expo and through scamming the public out of their permits for their “special” draw and auction. Sounds like it’s time for them to create some wildlife over passes and fence the whole highway.

 

[SS!]

They were all pushed onto the road by shed hunters!

Negative! Shed hunters are denying all responsibility right now. Allegedly, they are reporting snowmobiles, cow elk hunters, rabbit hunters and hikers as those responsible for running the wildlife to death and possibly, committing suicide from all the harassment they’ve endured this winter.

There hasn't been many shed hunters out and about looking for horns at this point in time. So if they have already been pushed around at this point how was it shed hunters that did it?

 

[TheOneRidgeRunner]

Hwy 6 is a slaughter house in the low country. Deer, Elk and surprisingly Turkeys are dead everywhere. Doubt you go 200 yards between carcasses or chunks of whats left.

 

[GLEDEASY]

Vehicle collisions are certainly one of the top issues affecting wildlife.

 

[MrShane]

I wonder how many expo attendees traveling to and from the expo took out big game or a turkey.
Hope it was worth it.

 

[rraney]

Imagine what the herds would look like if we could keep them from getting slaughtered by vehicles

You really struggle with understanding sarcasm, don’t you?

 

[fullthrottle]

Building fences/overpasses should be top priority this summer. Hwy 6 is a no brainer.

Echo to Evanston is also no brainer, although I’d argue the huge cwmu’s that own all that country on both sides of the road and profit from the game that the public has just about zero access to should cover that bill.

Add a cow moose to that count on 02/11

I heard about that. That effen sucks

Meanwhile, our hwy 491 was closed due to a semi elk mass casualty event. I heard they were stacking them with a front end loader.

About a mile from the overhead message board warning motorists of wildlife on the road.

These f’n truckers are a public menace.

That's no kidding, any highway that has heavy semi traffic needs game fences and overpass crossings.

 

[JB1975]

The only benefit to Texas and our million miles of high fence ranches.

I have to update my post….it was a cattle truck hauling 43 now dead cattle. I think that makes it better?

Where is 491 at?

 

[1989Cohunter]

Haven’t seen To many deer but a quite a few elk. I suppose it’s Probably not a good sign.

 

[notrace]

Don't be to hard on Truckers there just doing there job! Best solutions I see is fence overpass and drop speed limits way down on areas and seasons like this ( and heavily enforce it!! a semi at 55 can't stop quick if a deer or elk jumps out in front of them but up by echo for 5 to 10 miles 30 mph would be a huge difference and would not effect much in travel times for most.
