"With more than 35 inches of snow on the ground, along with bitter cold temperatures, conditions are threatening the survival of mule deer in Utah's Bear Lake Valley.
Help for the deer is on is way. On January 12, Utah Department of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) Director Greg Sheehan contacted Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Utah Regional Director Bill Christensen and asked the RMEF to help deliver 12 tons of specially formulated deer pellets developed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
UDWR biologists have been monitoring deer and winter range conditions across Utah this winter. Weather conditions have been especially difficulty around Bear Lake where deer are wandering around Garden City looking for something to eat.
"Although the weather has been severe across parts of Utah this winter, the Bear Lake area is the only location where emergency feeding needs to happen right now. We're prepared to feed deer in other locations, though, if the need arises. These deer are exhausted, confused and without options. They need help," said Sheehan."
