[QUOTE="Blkrflguy, post: 2784726, member: 116381"] What I was I was referring to was all the ones born last year. Not the ones that are currently carrying. However, those that are carrying might be able to abort, I've never looked into that. I also read a story last week that I didn't mention above in my original post, of a plow driver who's run is out on I-80. That state hwy gets hit hard every year. He describes seeing a few elk and how they looked like they were dead. Some you could see the ribs on. He kept an eye on them as he made his plow drive to clear the roads every few days and noted that one of the elk that he had seen the previous few days was no longer with the group. The feed grounds have been a political football here for a long time. But If it weren't for the grounds the elk would suffer as much as the other animals. The winter snow here is a balancing act. We have to have enough for the melt in spring to bring the water levels back up, but too hard of a winter kills much of the big game. The last couple of years the west has been very dry. We've had smoke in the summer months almost weekly the last couple years from fires as far away as Oregon. Sometimes you almost can't go outside because the smoke is so bad. Sometimes it completely blocks some of the mountain views. [/QUOTE]
