80% of Wyoming mule deer died last winter. Fawn crop is lost for this year.

Damn, that's rough. Looks like it'll be a while before I use my points

Just asked a friend up there about it. She said it's the worst winter she's seen in 10 years of living there and the old timers are saying its the worst in 40 or 50 years.

Nature's way of controlling the wolf population.

Not Wyoming, but my dad just went to visit some family and they stopped by Estes Park. As they were coming down a mountain the park rangers were going up it to close it for snow.

Nature is cruel. We've had 15-20% (survival) fawn crops in years of drought but that's usually limited to fawns, this is next level.

It is not global warming we are facing. It is climate change- with the most clear effects being colder winters and hotter summers

I'm just curious do you think the weather should stay basically the same every year? Its the coldest in 40-50 years, that's not that crazy...

The weak have been culled. The remaining 20% will reproduce a new improved population of super deer.

Scientist: the Earth is 4.5 billion years old.

Also Scientist: it's colder today than it's been in 50 years. We have to stop eating cows and driving gas cars because humans are bad.

So the planet has naturally gone through warming and cooling cycles for thousands of years, but now all of a sudden it's doing both at the same time?

Even for humans and all we've accomplished, that's pretty damn impressive.

Oh BTW, Baton Rouge had more days with new record highs (20) and new record high minimum temperatures (9) than there were days with record lows (4) or record low maximum temperatures (1) in 2022. But yeah, we're getting colder and warmer at the same time.

Idiot.

We had a bitter cold winter--animals died. It's called nature...most people seem to forget what that is.

Not 80% of Wyoming deer. 80% from the Wyoming range, which is in the western part of the state. Still sucks, as that area produces the best bucks.
NW Colorado was also pounded. Tag cuts big time in that area.

By the time the populations rebound I’m going to have enough points for some sweet draws

Unfortunately, Wyoming hasn’t really rebounded in a long time. The glory days of mule deer are probably gone.
Your best bet would be to hunt the eastern half of Wyoming and pay for private access.

Are you sure that it’s from man made climate change? If so, then please explain why most of our weather records occurred before the big bad oil companies raped and pillaged our state for profits. It’s almost like our climate is cyclical.
