national elk refuge

A new wolf pack may be forming right now in Jackson Hole, splitting their time between the National Elk Refuge and Grand Teton National Park.

An initial count of total elk harvests on the National Elk Refuge, an annual hunt with special restrictions, are low due to winter’s slow start.

Fire danger has been raised to “moderate” for the Teton area. That includes Grand Teton National Park, Bridger-Teton National Forest and the National Elk Refuge. The increase is due to warmer and windier conditions, and the fact that grasses, shrubs and trees are drying out.

The rush, chaos and competition still defined the annual shed hunt, but vehicle registrations in Jackson were down by roughly half due to a new state law, prohibiting out-of-state residents for the opener.

A milder start to winter means fewer elk on the National Elk Refuge in Jackson, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
