Wow... that's sounds like they have a real cougar problem over there!

On a good note for pronghorn. Driving home from work last night, I counted over 250 that were visible from the road. I have seen more of them in the past. That was between Gillette and Casper.
Pretty much from Rawlins Wyoming to Echo Utah on i80 is a waste land of frozen dead animals. It's sad.
G&F has proposed tags for 2023 on the website the cuts don't look like enough.
Several times this winter I drove from Rock Springs to Cheyenne or up to Casper and would see 100-500 elk inside the right of way every drive. Northern Colorado is cutting tags by 40%.
Winter has been rough in the high desert.

Because the scope of this disaster is only just now being quantified by Game and Fish, I fully expect emergency modifications will be published cutting tag #'s before the beginning of the draw. Stand by - it doesn't look good.
It's kind of sad,it happens in many states.I'm against hiring contractors and paying good money out when they could let local people hunt them and possibly make money on a special license. I think it's just stupid.
Same for Casper. 20-24" on Casper Mountain. So far, the pronghorn on the Eastern side of the state are doing better than the Western side. This one could change that.Calling for 8-12" snow tonight here in our area if WY tonight/tomorrow with more cold.
Yes, they are calling for up to 22" more above us here in the Bighorns.
I realize I have relegated to a daily whining about the weather and this winter's conditions for the animals.
I believe this winter is as hard on me (in spirit, lol) as it has been the animals.

The Casper area saw -40* early, record snowfall for January and February, record daily snowfall for a 24 hour period on Monday.
We've been snowed in all winter as most of the backroads are impassable. I'm afraid of what we are going to find when it melts enough to get out and about!
My plan at this point is to pass on antelope and deer tags this year. Heck ive even looked into New Mexico tags but dang thats spendy. Probably just help the daughter get her first antelope and maybe pick up a cow elk tag.
This is what we woke up to Tuesday morning

It will steer more of them to Idaho.
I WISH Idaho would raise non-res fees to the same rates as surrounding states.
I don't begrudge people for wanting to hunt out of state, but I don't like being the bargain/opportunity state for the nation.
