A new study highlights the importance of both protected and private lands in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) for wildlife migration. The study specifically focuses on elk in the GYE, which includes much of western Wyoming and is ‘one of the largest nearly intact temperate-zone ecosystems on Earth,’ according to the National Park Service. Lead researcher Laura Gigliotti spoke with Wyoming Public Radio’s Caitlin Tan.

Warmer falls have made hunting harder, especially elk. This is affecting the Wyoming Game and Fish Department managing elk.

As Colorado's big-game rifle season approaches, state wildlife officials are ramping up monitoring of chronic wasting disease, which continues to spread in deer and elk populations around the state.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is reducing the number of pronghorn and mule deer hunting tags for this year. Officials say it is largely due to disease and drought.

Once there is a seven percent prevalence of chronic wasting disease, the study predicts a modest decline of elk.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department plans to continue feeding elk in the winter at the Dell Creek Feedground in Northern Sublette County. A recent court decision found that the department's previous permit to winter feed elk, granted by the U.S. Forest Service, expired at the end of 2017 and there was no record of renewal, despite the department continuing to feed there in the years since.

A U.S. District of Wyoming Court ruled on Tuesday that the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) improperly permitted two of the three feed grounds that were reviewed because they conducted improper environmental analyses.
