Here in Eastern Oregon we have not had any winter yet. we're getting rain but it's too warm to snow, I've lived here my entire life and never seen anything like it. looking at the Snotel map it doesn't look like much of the west is any different.
The wildlife is fat and happy and it's late enough now even a big change in the weather pattern isn't likely to give the herds any real trouble. that's the good part of it, the bad part is spring runoff may be dismal. and worse yet I have a 20k sled I snow checked with zero miles on it and no improvement in sight.
Anyone see winter yet where you are? it looks possible we may have the lowest winterkill losses ever.
