Wyoming Game and Fish Commission votes to continue feeding elk – for now
Last week, the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission voted to approve the final Wyoming Elk Feedgrounds Management Plan that sustains the artificial feeding of elk herds, contradicting science-based recommendations, and jeopardizing northwest Wyoming’s delicate ecosystem. Wyoming is the last state in the Intermountain West to continue to artificially feed elk, despite neighboring states' hosting even larger herds. You can read more about the Commission meeting and the vote here.
