A helicopter transports three mule deer to a field clinic where the Division of Wildlife Resources will check their condition to determine how they fared the winter at Hardware Ranch near Hyrum Utah on March 4, 2020. The staff collect data to come up with “body condition score”. They measure loin thickness, rump fat and physical size to arrive at an overall score of the percentage of body fat. These deer were captured and measured last fall, so the new data will reveal how well they did during winter, the most difficult time of the year. (Photo by Natalie Behring/AFP Photo)
