Are you kidding? Knowing the people involved, unless they are completely inaccessible, these deer will be buried, I'd bet money on it.

I heard that it happened in another area close to Shepard's Pass, not to that extent though.

My Dad also has max points and applied for G3 this year...luckily he didn't get drawn.

As if the 4 year drought, massive wildfires, and last years brutal winter weren't bad enough now we've lost at least 80 mule deer(I'm sure there will be more to come down) who fell down some iced up cliffs on their winter migration route out of the mountains. Some locals have wanted to put up a fence to prevent this but the forest service and DFG resist. I heard the couple who happened upon the scene in the morning were slitting throats of the mortally wounded to end their suffering. Nature can be brutal. This year the tags in both X9a & X9B were cut from ~600 each to about 200 in each zone, tags are bucks only. It previously took 4 or 5 years to draw a tag in one of those zones so times that by 3 so about 12 years to draw. The deer didn't go back up this year until July because of heavy snow and they will stay up until the weather chases them down. Conditions were perfect for this type of tragedy, a late winter and an iced up migration route. It happens every year to some extent but never this bad.
Highway 168 is the border with X9A to the North & X9B to the South.View attachment 84090 View attachment 84091

Two solutions for the future.
1 - Split the state into two states - Conservative and Liberal
2 - Never vote for another Democrat

The United states World Animal Protection should do something about this.

The United states World Animal Protection should do something about this.

I'm a Legislative Liaison for two AKC dog clubs and the chair of a national committee called the LAWS Committee for the American Shetland Sheepdog Association. One of my duties is to identify extremist animal rights groups which are anti-hunting and anti-animal ownership. The organization called "World Animal Protection" is an animal rights group which would likely view this mule deer tragedy with glee! Groups like this are no better than Peta and the HSUS!
