The project affixed 330 GPS collars onto 200 does, 100 fawns and 30 bucks from five focal mule deer herds: the Wyoming Range, North Bighorn, Upper Shoshone, Sweetwater and Laramie Mountains herds.

Hall said. “We have pretty concerning survival numbers from the western part of the state — particularly the Wyoming Range — but we see notably different trends in areas that have experienced a different version of the winter.”

winter mule deer mortality rates are much less dire statewide.

Pockets of death

Combining numbers from the five focal herds, statewide survival rates on April 13 registered at 75% for does, 78% among bucks and 61% for fawns.

Northern Wyoming herds — North Bighorn and Upper Shoshone mule deer — have fared the best, with more than 90% survival of does, the reproductive engine of herds that are most important to populations. In the Sweetwater Herd, which dwells in central Wyoming’s Granite and Green mountains, doe survival was 86%. In the Laramie Mountains, some 81% of marked does remained alive.


The Wyoming Game and Fish Department updated its fall 2023 hunting season proposals for Wyoming Range deer in winter’s wake. In the Wyoming and Salt River ranges and beyond in western Wyoming, mule deer rifle hunters will have a one-week shorter season. State officials are also planning to implement a new antler point restriction, requiring that any mule deer harvested have three points or more on either antler. Last, youth hunts have been altered to exclude does and fawns.

I dont pay to trap private ground either dirt. If anybody gets paid when I trap its me. you might want to consider who gets to graze and who gets totrap. BLM trapping is open to the public. There is no free grazing anymore so government picks who gets that cheap pasture.

Hunting, trapping and trespassing rights come with grazing rights. Changing that should be a priority imo.


There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

Anyone can hunt or trap public land but your not allowed to cross private land to do so. No different than someone driving through you property to get to the neighbors. As far as what the winter kill is in Wyoming the game and fish sets the seasons and quota who hunts on private is up to the landowner. As I said before numerous ranches are closing hunting on there property to help wildlife recover. I have given up trapping do to age for the most part I will always do some. I have 2 individuals that have trapped for year on my places and I will still allow access for that.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife just published the "Colorado Wolf Restoration and Management plan", it's the draft, but almost certainly will be approved. It only provides for lethal management if a wolf is caught in the act of depredation.

I believe the real goal is to stop hunting. Enough wolves and there is no surplus of deer and elk.

And then there is no need to own guns! That's the plan.
