[QUOTE="BillR, post: 460512, member: 462"] We had a bad winter up there last year and it really took its toll on the Antelope and Deer populations in some of those areas. The area I hunt is further east and south and it was so bad I did not even put in for permits there. Last year was a huge year for the deer and antelope season and this year was a complete 180 although in some areas I did see good populations yet but that was not the norm. The area I hunted Antelope on last year had a population of about 300 animals but this year I counted about 20. Time to give them a rest. That same area we found a draw that the Mule deer had bunched up in during a storm and it had 14 dead in that area alone. That was only one draw in the area I hunt. It will come back but its going to take some time. I hated to do it but logic told me to lay off this year and see what next year brings. Didn't need the meat anyway. I did get some good time in looking around and seeing just how bad it was. So I just called that my hunt and had a good time outdoors and enjoying life. [/QUOTE]
