Pinedale area game wardens joined Wildlife Biologist Dean Clause recently to conduct the annual post-hunt season deer survey for the Sublette mule deer herd. As hoped, the number of fawns improved significantly with 71 fawns being counted for every 100 does. This is a welcome improvement from the 49 per 100 does counted last year following the hard winter of 2016-17. The overall proportion of bucks seen also improved to 37 bucks to100 does. While the overall number of deer seen and counted does tend to provide a picture of the population trend, biologist point out that it is by no means an overall deer population estimate.
