Elk & Deer Herds Getting Too Close To Roads, Baiting Could Be The Solution

Wildlife officers hope food will lure the thousands of big game animals off the highway, and with so much snow there, it’s easy to see why the animals have gathered along the cleared road.

“Our concern is the Highway 50 travel corridor,” J Wenum with Colorado Parks and Wildlife said.
