Elk hazed from Spring Gulch area to refuge

Wildlife officials have hazed a group of elk from northwestern Wyoming's Spring Gulch area to the National Elk Refuge because the animals were getting into feed lines and scuffling with horses on private ranches. Officials with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department nudged the herd - all bulls - with snowmobiles Friday. Game and Fish biologist Doug Brimeyer says about 25 elk were moved. He says that every few years, loitering elk cause damage on private land, triggering the need to push them out of Spring Gulch.
