FILE - In this Feb. 21, 2017, file photo, elk make their way to the feed line on the National Elk Refuge north of Jackson, Wyo. A former federal wildlife health chief says the National Elk Refuge's plans to reduce feeding are "likely to fail" and it's doubtful they'd slow the spread of disease. It would be better to start the planning process from scratch, says U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service retiree Tom Roffe, who personally worked the elk feeding issue "for decades." Roffe summarized his concerns in a 17-page review of the refuge's "step-down" plan that he submitted last fall, while the plans were in draft form. The plans are now final and facing a lawsuit.
