The game department say's (Don't laugh, I know better then to trust them) it's a Selenium and copper deficiency... I don't know why they all the sudden ran out of it
Why is it only one hoof that gets affected? It doesn't seem like a bacteria would be selective?

Can't be any worse than out around the Hoh River area if ya wanna talk swamp. Anyone getting them with the rot from the Forks/Hoh area? Or even down around the Raymond area, that place is really a swamp too.It's in the willapa hills and fall river units. Haven't seen it as far west as Menlo yet. So not quite to Raymond but close.

So not quite to Raymond but close.Maybe the eastern half of 506 but I've seen a couple hundred elk in the western most part of 506 over the last few seasons and never noticed one limping. Hopefully it will stay that way but doesnt sound like it. I have definitely noticed a reduced number of elk in the area I hunt from 4 years ago. 200 cow tags a year for 3 years in a row have done a number on the population overall.
