Drought for the west

[hank4elk]

Desperately in need of measurable rains in SW NM & AZ.
Ground is bone dry and no grasses or weeds growing. Rivers and streams a trickle, if not dry.
Very bad.
Elk suffering and showing ribs. Cows about to drop or have aborted. No feed for milk.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of trees dead or dying.

Might get some Mon/Tues......a month early.
It will be bad if monsoons are late or fail to appear.

NE Wyoming looks like junk, but it seems there is an abnormaly high amount of large antelope around. If they can find something to eat this summer it should be a good year to have an antelope tag.

Where specifically? I was up in the Black Hills in late April early May, didn't look too bad. Seemed like South of the Black Hills looked a lot worse to me.

Around Laramie, we have had very timely rains/snow that has no doubt helped significantly, really green right now.
