Update on survey.....Weather was not very good yesterday with a lot of fog and snow still on the ground. We were not able to put the plane up as conditions were just to bad. That part will be rescheduled. We did have 9 individuals  show up  from SCI to do a ground survey. We only found 2 groups one with 25 and another with 43. We did receive some very positive input from land owners about additional pronghorns they have been seeing. We also heard stories about poaching, and ones that are being hit by vehicles. Both a big concern. It still appears that the general feelings with some locals is that these are not a protected species. We will be looking at getting reward posters out in the local areas and possibly road signs for motorist.

I was out yesterday but did not see any animals,  will keep looking in the areas we spoke about on thd phone. 
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

We did not find your group we talked about but did hear they were there on Tuesday with maybe 70 in the group. Hopefully when we get the plane up they can find them.

Drove around in there Sunday, lots of fog.  No animals but found a few tracks up by the dairy.   More snow coming tonight, may be able to find fresh tracks.   
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.
