Georgetown Summit WMA provides year-round habitat for
elk and mule deer. Winter and spring are the most important
seasons of habitat use. The number of elk wintering on the
WMA has increased in recent years and currently exceeds
200. During the latest study period more than 500 mule deer
wintered on the Georgetown Front. Historic numbers are
significantly higher with 1500 mule deer observed in 1970.
Other wildlife making use of the WMA are mountain lion,
bobcat, coyote, badger, cottontail rabbit, weasel and ground
squirrels. Bald eagle, golden eagle, hawks, falcons, sandhill
crane, ducks, Canada geese, ruffed grouse, sharp-tailed grouse,
gray partridge and many species of songbirds are common on the
WMA. Several species of trout, whitefish and nongame fish are
found in the Bear River.
