For the past several months I have been commuting for work between Nephi and Ephraim. That whole drive is prime winter range habitat for a lot of animals. It has been MIND BLOWING to me the amount of deer I see dead daily on the side of the road now that I drive it every single day, I am talking several new deer that get hit per week! Often times I’ll see a herd of deer on my way to work in the morning then one or two of them dead on my way home.
I hunt Wyoming often and I am constantly seeing the fencing and overpass projects they are working on. Why does this not seem to be a focus at least that I have heard of in Utah? I am sure plenty of people would be willing to donate to a project like this that would immediately save hundreds of deer on one or two mountain ranges.
This isn’t to argue about the morality of the conservation groups and where the money goes. I know there are always projects going on throughout the state, I just don’t ever hear of those projects being wildlife fencing in critical travel areas.
