[QUOTE="Blkrflguy, post: 2784418, member: 116381"] About a month ago in western Wy there was several hundred speed goats that died from a disease. Then yesterday, I was talking with a friend who's lived in Wy for the last 40 years. He shared with me that last week he spoke with a warden he's known for a long time and that G & F the last couple weeks have picked up over 2,500 carcasses. Said they estimate all the fawns from last year are dead from the strong winter this year, and they are estimating an 80% death rate among the muley fawns. Not great news at all, especially considering that last year Wy took 13,000 Antelope tags off the table because of winter on the east side of the state. Goat tags this year might not even be issued. Who knows... About every 5 years Wy gets a very strong winter and lots of snow. This year is that 5 year I guess. We still have 18" of snow outside our cabin and when the snow gets that deep, and hardens from freezing, animals have a hard time pawing down to the ground. The juice isn't worth the squeeze and they die from starvation. Available tags for Antelope this year may be a record low offering from the state, sadly. [/QUOTE]
