Drouth Eases But Texas Plains Remain Vulnerable

Free Lunch For Elk Herds In Jackson Hole Winter Range
Wyoming joins federal Fish and Wildlife Service to feed an estimated 17 000 elk migrating from the Teton Mountains for a winter program. The Jackson Hole national elk refuge spreads 30 000 acres with fields of hay and added purchases to sustain elk through deep snows, ensuring the wintering herd survives until spring hunting. State Game Warden Charles Hanscum notes 10 000 to 12 000 elk are fed directly while others forage, as the annual hunt resumes next year with about 5000 elk killed.
