Harsh Winter Impacting Montana Wildlife
The Great Falls Tribune is running a detailed write up on how this winter is impacting the state's wildlife and it doesn't look good.
With harsh winter conditions potentially continuing for weeks longer, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks biologists are predicting substantial impacts to white-tailed deer, mule deer and antelope populations, which in some areas had reached near-record numbers in recent years. In fact, many of these animals are starving already after more than two months of heavy snows and especially harsh winter weather.
Unfortunately as the winter wears on, we'll probably be reading more of these headlines from other states as well.
