CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wildlife suffered higher than normal losses this winter in severe weather across the western United States, where the toll included the deaths of all known fawns in one Wyoming deer herd and dozens of endangered bighorn sheep in California.

Wildlife managers in Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and Washington also reported higher losses of animals in the wake of one of the coldest and snowiest winters in decades. Parts of the Rockies saw snowfall as late as mid-June.

Not exactly an unusual event, it was big news in 1887 too.

Lets just say that if one is out looking for sheds, it's a good year to bring a hacksaw.

WTH? Did Winter actually ASK the Scientific Consensus if it could be one of the coldest and snowiest in decades? How dare it deny the consensus on global warming!
