    Default Bad news for your big game plans

    Areas out west, especially in Wyoming, were already struggling over the past few years mainly due to drought, but this years intense winter has dealt the knock out punch to quite a few areas.

    There are areas of northern Utah that experienced 70% adult and 90% fawn mortality.

    While WY antelope are a different story, the deer die off was not nearly as bad as most were expecting. Utah was figuring on catastrophic die offs, didn't happen near the extent they thought. Here is some UT data.

    Its very localized. The unit I antelope hunt in had some doe tags cut, but no buck tag cuts. Elk unit in Bighorns isnt getting any cuts either.
