Use of exposure: Antelope were observed on all exposures in 

 nearly every season (Table 14). The greatest usage occurred on 

 southerly exposures in the spring of 1979, 57 percent. Flat 

 lands generally had the least amount of antelope usage. This 

 reflects their lack of usage of floodplains and plateau areas as 

 discussed above. Northerly slopes were most highly used in the 

 fall season, 56 percent of the observations, and least used in 

 the spring of 1979. Easterly slopes were most often used in 

 spring 1979 and summer 1980, 50 and 49 percent respectively.
