Winfer of 1946-47 During the winter of 1946-47, severe temperatures were of short duration and excessive snowfalls did not occur. Except for very shor! periods, the ground surface was bare of snow all winter (Interstate Deer Herd Committee, 1!»47). Green grass did not appear on the range, although heavy utilization of dry grass occurred throughout most of the winter. This indicated that the winter was a relatively cold, dry one, inhibiting the growth of grass. The (\vy leafage of balsam root, together with the dry stems of tum- bling mustard, accounted for the relatively high utilization of forbs in the November and January diets. The consumption of dry grass and dry fori) leafage would indicate little or no ground snow at the lime. Bitterbrush, although contributing materially to the diet in November, showed a progressive decrease in use over the winter months. The range utilization study For the winter of 1946-47 revealed heavy use of bitter- brush. On 36 sample plots, 82 percent of the bitterbrush was heavily.
