Elk In Good Condition In Government Feeding Effort

Additional elk on Lee rool and the FL Peterson place show good condition despite heavy snows. State feeding began last Saturday on the swamp north of Jackson and the surrounding wind swept areas, and elk along the lower feed ground remain healthy. The valley anticipates unusual weather, but Jackson's Hole elk are surviving the winter in excellent condition.
