• (d) Water. <br />Water is the limiting factor throughout the <br />antelope range although it has improved over the <br />past five years. More water developments in the <br />area would greatly improve the range, eliminate <br />major concentrations of antelope, and improve the <br />chances for herd increase. <br />(e) Cover. <br />Even though the antelope utilize the pinyon-juniper <br />zone, the trees actually limit the expansion of <br />the antelope because they require very little <br />cover. <br />(f) Habitat Areas <br />See Overlay ir2. <br />(3) Important Use Areas <br />See (4). <br />(4) Special Use Areas <br />No information is available on antelope fawning areas <br />and other special use areas. <br />(5) Conflicts <br />There is very little competition with cattle on good <br />condition ranges. Only two of the allotments in the <br />Antelope area are utilized by cattle but they are not <br />in what could be considered "good condition." Direct <br />competition does exist on the ranges for available <br />forage. <br />Competition between sheep and antelope is the most <br />direct conflict in the Alkali over the fortis and <br />browse. because of the lack of grass forage for the <br />sheep. This competition is greatest in allotments <br />4016, 4017, and 4019. Under present conditions of <br />• NF-WL-III-10 4/76 RWM <br />
