• During the two winters of observations (1974-1975 and 197-1976), deer and elk numbers <br />fluctuated from 43 to 101 and from 20 [o 119, respectively. Conclusions that can be drawn <br />from the data are as follows: (1) the number of animals observed is greatly affected by <br />counting conditions; (2) the severity of winter affect the total number of animals observed <br />within the area; (3) certain areas are utilized more than others; and (4) deep snows have a <br />greater impact orb deer numbers and areas of use than on elk. <br />As discussed earlier in this section, use of the winter range by deer and elk is directly related <br />to weather conditions and snow depth. <br />Information from the aerial surveys are shown in Table 6, Aerial Game Counts. <br />r, <br />~J <br />i <br />2.04.11.14 <br />
