Anybody know of a larger than usual winterkill in the Rawlins area? I'm down here for the next couple months for work and have noticed at least a dozen or two of what appear like winter kill antelope.

Yes. Very harsh conditions in the Rawlins area this winter and we lost antelope.

How does the game and fish react to the winter kill? Do they establish the seasons and season tag limits before or after a full understanding of a winter kill?

Yeah, it's wild. I've never seen this many winterkill carcasses.

Out of curiosity, were you north of Sinclair? There’s quite a few carcasses visible from the Seminoe Rd.

Nope, just in Rawlins. On my site there are four carcasses, went hiking just north of town today and ran into another 6.

Did some scouting in the area this weekend, and what I saw jives with the above comments.

A 10.2% reduction in pronghorn licenses statewide:
There was a 10.2% license quota reduction overall, meaning less licenses were allocated by the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission in April. Adding to the draw difficulty, buck license applications increased by 7.2% and doe/fawn by 11.3%. Hunters who typically pick up pronghorn licenses in the leftover draw saw nearly a 25.8% reduction.
