Winter effects on the pronghorn?

[muzzhunter]

How will this winter effect the pronghorn? Will their numbers be way down like the deer? I don't know a lot about them, but I have a couple points in Wyoming and was wondering how the hunts are gonna be this year.
Thanks,
Dave

Wow this forum is slow. Anyone know anything about how this winter will effect the lopers?

I talked to a WY biologist a couple of days ago about an area I was considering applying for (not saying which area). He said they were planning to reduce buck tags by 50% or more in the unit, and cutting doe tags by 80-90% due to the effects of this winter.

The point is, do some checking on the area you are interested in before applying.

I talked to Dan the bio in the Sheridan office on Friday - he didn't seem concerned about the weather and how the antelope were doing - this was for central/eastern side of state. ALso talked to some ranchers hoping to find some access and they all said the goats were fine. I think further toward the west might be worse.

Thanks for the replies. I will do some calling. Good luck in the upcoming draws.
