Wyoming Fish and Game are known for their destructive methods
And are known science-driven management. and the lack of any science.
"Urged by big game outfitters and top employees in Cheyenne, the state wildlife agency altered its hunting seasons and dialed up the pressure on wolves during the following two falls.
Iit’s undesirable to have wolves push most of the elk out of the Gros Ventre." Actually Wolves pushing elk around and keeping them on the move is what they do. It keeps the herds healthy.
But Wyoming wants to kill the wolves to keep the elk in place
subjected to feed grounds where they contract diseases and are susceptible to CWD transmission is negligent and extremely short-sighted.
The adjoining western states see the danger for disease and have
not been able to change minds in Wyoming..
The reason for Wyoming began when the city of Jackson Hole
was created as it cut off the natural migration and feeding areas
For elk..Solution, to bunch them up and feed a huge amount of elk
to solve the problem.
It doesnt solve the problem but creates more problems. Hoof rot
From standing continually in snow/ water has occured. The fear
Of creating Chronic Wasting disease is very real and will kill many of them in the process..
Why do they want keep elk? The answer is simple, for hunting of course and out of state hunters create weallth for the state’s
coffers.
Wyoming has a wealth of wildlife but instead thy are prone to killing.
The state is defeating itself and money in budget is slim.
Presently there is a law suit to close the feeding grounds..
