Deer Observers Spot 700 Near Lussenden Ranch
Three Teton County Sportsmen and a forest ranger documented about 700 deer along the foothill fringe from two miles south to two miles north of the Lussenden ranch on February 4. The group noted fresh snow and light wind allowed movement from sheltered areas and observed deer health and browse conditions. They warned that a mild winter could push deer to private land, threatening haystacks and rancher feed, with overused browse likely if winter deepens.
