Has anyone heard any recent news on the conditions of the winter range habitat areas of the Sawtooth Zone? I found a 2007 report that mentions the problem of skeletonweed ( https://research.idfg.idaho.gov/wildlife/Wildlife Technical Reports/Forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=85 ) but I haven't found any information about if any agency is planning to try to control the stuff.
Some of the animals I saw seem to be in poor condition - at least to my untrained eye.
This yearling whitetail is so thin you can see its ribs
These elk calves don't look much better to me, though the cow seems OK
Here are a couple photos of the skeletonweed mats near the S. Fork of the Payette
