Very Nice BRaz. We seen a ton of critters today on the way back from strawberry. Between Park city and wanship there were 4 dead elk on the highway. Elk and deer all over. Tons of road kill deer also. Really .

We had a killer trip to the berry. You can read about it over at FFF when the rest get back.. As you might guess, the day was good. We had good weather also.


Nice group of Sage hens. []

[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]Those Sage Chickens were actually in Utah, only a couple of miles from Laketown. But everything else was in Wyoming. Man the snow is getting deep everywhere and the forage is pretty slim due to the drought. It is not looking good for the poor critters this winter.[/size][/#808000][/font][]

Great pics. We need the water, but we could use a little warm weather to expose some more forage. I'm afraid this winter will be bad for winter kill.

The DWR took a moose about 1/2 block from my new place yesterday morning. It was a yearling bull. He had been wandering around the neighborhood for about a week now. Got to see him up close in the trailer before they drove off. They said they were looking for one more up on North Ogden, then they were going to take them to the north slope and release them.

Another crazy critter story, there was also a jack rabbit in my yard yesterday afternoon! My place isn't in the sticks, in fact it's not far from Weber High. I saw the tracks in the morning and figured someone had and easter bunny escape the cages, but about 2 o'clock a big old husky come racing down the hill hot on the heels of that little jack. What I wouldn't have done for my .22 at that time, as I was up at roof height and it would have made for some fun shooting.

Nice pics! Gotta love those winter drives.
I have been scouting a lot for the shed season also (gotta wait til April). Haven't seen too much. Been looking around a lot up by North Ogden, tons of moose up there and quite a few deer too. Not very many bucks out yet, probably still hiding.
What surprized me the most was that in the pictures you took, there was only a few inches of snow. In Ogden we have about three to four feet of snow with about five feet in the Mountains. We have a big problem ahead of us with the deer.
I was up in Eden (by Pineview) on Saturday and spotted a whole herd of elk all the way down in the flats. There were also about 100 deer scattered all over. There were two bulls, one five point and one six point. The six point dropped one side already. Wish I had access to that property.

[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]Our typical winter ranges have about the same amount of snow as what you guys have. But with that much snow and poor forage it has pushed a vast majority of the deer into the desert where the wind blows the snow away, and this is where most of the pics were taken. The big problem about the deer going to the desert is that there is absolutely no forage. Hopefully the critters can pull through.[/size][/#808000][/font]
