Body

Extensive destruction of big sagebrush in southwestern Montana in the winter of 1963-64 is attributed to a sudden irruption of the population of voles. Such extensive sudden destruction of browse species over wide areas concerns both ranchers and game managers because it can affect production of browse and forage for several succeeding years.
