 “Apparently these deer and many, many others (around 100 deer) were trying to make their way to their wintering grounds on this side of the mountains and hit ice on very steep areas.  From below Lone Pine to Bishop Pass these deer hit the ice and tumbled down the steep boulders to their deaths, or to mortal injury.  It was told that the couple in the picture were actually slitting the throats of the mortally injured in order to put them out of their pain.  In the nearly 40 years I've been in this Valley, I have never heard of such a terrible tragedy happening to our deer herds.  They suffered 4 years of drought, then a terrible winter with a devastating winter die-off, and now this.  It will take many years for our herds to rebuild from this loss.”

Sounds like it’s happened before and they had an idea to fix it.   Wow.    Good place for a trailcam.  Don’t slip

Horrible.  Apparently the herd can survive the occasional catastrophe.

100 deer is what a cougar eats in a year, so cap one of them and we are back on track.    Crazy freak accident that apparently happens semi frequently.   That must be some serious country
