In early January 2025 I had the opportunity to spend some time on the famous winter range of southwestern Wyoming, just like I have in recent years.
In 2024 I took a year off due to the sheer devastation of the 2023 winter, seeing a die off of over 80% of the deer herd due to the worst winter on record since the late 1940s.
This year the winter range looked much different than it did at roughly the same time in 2023.
The amount of snowfall in the area was substantially less in 2025, as of the time of filming/photographing.
I saw an encouraging number of does and fawns, as well as the anticipated amount of “up and comer” bucks in that 150”-170” class. I was pleasantly surprised at the overall number of deer I saw and if the winter continues to be somewhat mild, the outlook for Regions G, H, and other surrounding areas could be promising for the fall of 2025 and especially for the fall of 2026.
Time will tell, and we’ll do our best to keep you posted on the status of our beloved deer herd here in Wyoming.
