History



The Magic Valley Region has significant history of winter feeding and has an active Winter Feeding Advisory Committee.



Feb. 6, 2017 status report



Warm weather and rain has made accessing feed sites extremely difficult. Staff is spending a large part of their time getting vehicles and equipment unstuck.  Elk are not staying on feed sites and continue to cause depredation issues. With warmer, wet weather, conditions will likely continue to deteriorate for a few more weeks before they begin to improve.
