Elk and Lichen

[Larryjk]

I live in Rawlins. This happened about three years ago. At that time, several hundred head died from this cause. There has been a lot of research, but so far they don't know what the active ingrediant is that affects their muscles. This latest outbreak was just a few head, furtunately. The WG&FD has not come up with an antidote. They have had the vets working on it for a long time.
Once the animals go down, they don't recover.
