Saw a whole herd of elk a few days ago that were disabled in Pierce county. All bad with hoof rot including 2 bulls. They were feeding about 30 yards from the timber and when they spooked it took them forever to make it to the timber while they stumbled and were using there whole body to transfer the weight as they couldn't put there legs down. It was really sad. Over the last 2 years I have watched the herd go from one to almost the whole herd have this.
