Antelope Herd Driven From Haunts Near Opal
About 300 head of antelope have left their native hills and many are sighted along the railroad near Nutria and Opal. Winter weather drives big game to lower feeds, risking starvation near Nutria if aid is not provided. Reports note elk near Jackson in good condition though some young elk from the mountains have died or suffered. A humorous instance recalls a bull elk roaming Jackson and interacting oddly with residents and cattle, prompting guidance on livestock control and local guiding services.
