Well now more fuel for the stop the feedground side. Difficult and complex issue is now even more complex. Hopefully with all the new money from the proposed increase in non resident point fees ($75) they will have more money for "complex management issues"

Did you see where the article stated that CWD has been present in elk in Southeast Wy since 1986?

I would say if they quit feeding especially the Jackson herd that half of those animals will die anyway.

I'm having a hard time believing that CWD is going to decimate the elk herd on the feed grounds.

All I know is CWD sure hasn't negatively impacted elk in the Laramie Range. FFS, they're hiring people to kill them off. Oh, yeah, and still can't control numbers.

Don’t forget the unlimited cow tag units. Those elk never bunch up.

Right, @JM77 and I shot them from herds of only 5-7 hundred.
