The thought crossed my mind that they might have CWD as they did not look healthy at all. I am happy to see this, but normally I would see a 100+ elk most mornings in my pasture or neighbors pastures.ĭeer are a joke - I have seen a couple of bucks and the few does I have seen I am certain did not have fawns as they looked lean and scary. In the last few days in my turf, I have had a group of around 15 cows with at least 6 calves running around this am. The biologist said the truth should be clear in another few weeks as the smaller the calf the greater the likelyhood it will not survive. The ugly is scary - based on the small sample they gathered so far from one day of tagging the the calves, they found several calves had deformities. The bad news is the calves should be in the 20-25lb range, but this crop is 1/3 to 1/2 weight wise smaller - ouch. The good news is the cow elk are starting to drop calves, and may not have aborted this years crops as some had indicated would happen. Met with one of the biologists last week about my sheep tag and he told me they have "Good/Bad/Ugly" analysis on the elk situation in the area East of Rabbit Ears pass to Craig - this would be the area where the animals would have normally migrated North to Wyoming if not continuing NW past Craig. I yield the floor back to blue and jims……. Sorry to be sour but it’s pissed me off for so long, watching this crap roll out I can’t help my self. The ones that have control will never take responsibility. when you do, the next generation will believe them, not you…… and tell you old men to shut up and quite lying to everybody about how it used to be. You can’t control the weather! Finished, done…… you can never blame them again and get any traction. It was the weather that took your mule deer, there was nothing we could do about it. when this pending winter kill happens, from here on out, your Fish and Game will claim everything was great before the spring of 2023, when winter kill took all your big game. Compared to the previous three decades, Colorados mule deer population has been in serious decline, primarily from mismanagement and over hunting/harvest, and a couple tough winters along the way. based on Utah’s historic decline in mule deer. Not that it will change anything for the better but I’ll make another conspiracy prediction…….
