Saratoga/Encampment/Platte Valley

[HiMtnHntr]

Looking to hear from folks who’ve been there or through there this winter. Been meaning to get over there myself, but how’s it looking deer-wise? Is it as bad as further north/west, or have the deer been able to find refuge???

Thanks…

Haven't heard myself but we are applying for pronghorn over there this year.
Email Teal, I plan to as we didn't get a chance to talk with her at the meeting.

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%.

That article is talking more about West of the valley over by Baggs.
I have emailed Teal to see what she has to say.

We're looking good in our little part of the state, pronghorn and deer and doing ok. This snow coming though might be bad news.

It is just as bad as the baggs to rock springs side.
