History
The Fish and Game Clearwater Region does not normally declare winter feeding emergencies and has never established a Winter Feeding Advisory Committee as per IC36-123.
January 9, 2017 status report
Snow depths in backcountry areas are slightly above normal however, water equivalent is still below average. To date, Fish and Game has received only one inquiry about whether the region was making plans to feed elk in the North Fork Clearwater. Elk captured recently in the Lochsa drainage indicate elk are in good shape coming into the winter, which was communicated to the concerned citizen, and is probably more important than the winter itself in determining survival.
