RE: blackhills wyoming deer,too much snow?
I doubt you have your laptop with you.
Anyway, I'm hearing that there's a foot of snow on the ground there. Your best bet is probably staying north of I-90 access-wise. It's hit-and-miss getting into the Moskee/SandCreekarea (southeast) until the snow's settled a bit. There's a forest road inbetween Aladdin and I-90 that can get you into the Bearlodge. You could try getting in over the Warren Peak highway west of Sundance (Reuter Springs campground), but the weather might be the limiting factor there as well.
From past experience,bring your winch, shovels,tire chains,tow straps, etc. You may not need themyourself, but there's a LOT of non-local traffic into thearea that doesn't quite know how to drive on snow/mudand may end up blocking your way in.But, plan on walking. USFS isn't fond of ATVs on other than designated trails (and there are only a couple places in the Bearlodgewhere they're permitted off-road).
