Winter is when wildlife managers conduct most of their big game counts because animals are generally more concentrated and visible on their winter ranges. Counts are conducted from both the ground and the air. According to Wyoming Game and Fish biologists, the elk numbers are looking strong, both in the Jackson elk herd north of Jackson and the Fall Creek herd to the south of Jackson. An encouraging number of moose were observed in the Jackson moose herd as well. In general, local deer populations are still showing the effects of the devastating winter of 2016-17. The jury is still out on the impacts of this winter, but last winter was again tough on deer in some areas, notably among deer in the Sublette herd along the southern Wind River Range.
