January 9, 2017 status report
Significant numbers of elk are wintering on and adjacent to agriculture fields but are not currently at risk of significant nutritional based mortality. Depredation complaints are high and Staff are busy responding to over 100 complaints based on elk. Fish and Game has significantly increased elk permits in the Salmon Region to lower elk numbers and haze animals away from private property. Additional depredation hunts were recently added in an attempt to address growing numbers of elk depredations.
