Yeah, in summer pretty much every hay field or irrigated field used to hold 100-300 antelope any time you drove by. Those same fields may hold 6-10 animals now... if they have any on them.Wyoming Game & Fish oversold additional doe/fawn licenses in the late 1970s. This practice reduced the numbers of antelope DRASTICALLY. We'll never see herds of that size again.
There have been some rough winters…in particular last winter. The numbers will recover to a degree, but it takes a few years and favorable conditions.
Late season when all the antelope herd up for winter we will see 20-30, sometimes more... but those are multiple herds combined from a large area.
Nothing like it used to be.
A travesty evidenced by mismanagement and greed.
