Antelope near Glasgow starving during harsh winter

Across northeastern Montana, continuous snow and cold have left antelope weakened and dying. Whitetail deer swarm haystacks like flies on rotting meat. Carcasses of dead antelope and deer litter the hillsides and valleys. Only the golden and bald eagles, magpies and crows are getting fat as they scavenge the animal corpses.

"It's difficult out there, and they've been doing it since November," Johnson said.

Bad winters are common across the rolling prairie of northeastern Montana, only miles from the Canadian border. But this winter has been even harsher than normal, with snow coming earlier and heavier. And the cold? Tuesday morning's low was 40 below zero.

"We're well on the way to having a record-breaking winter," said Mark Sullivan, FWP's Glasgow-region wildlife manager. "It's tough on wildlife, no doubt."
