Only a small portion <br />(9.li8%) of the total winter range for these species is located on National <br />Forest System land. The majority of winter range is at lower elevations on BLM <br />and private land. The Forest is coordinating with the State and other Federal <br />agencies and private landowners to agree upon manageable herd sizes in relation <br />to the carrying capacity of winter range. Vegetation treatment activities to <br />improve winter range carrying capacities occur in all vegetation types. This <br />is done in cooperation with the now and other cooperators. Vegetation <br />treatment of the climax successional stages improves diversity and suitability <br />of the range. Approximately 360,548 acres of the Forest have been classified <br />as winter range. The Forest's current winter range carrying capacity is 2,033 <br />elk and 5,806 deer annually and was established in cooperation with the noW. <br /> <br />10 <br />
