Anyone who relies on hay to feed livestock during the winter should start planning now to protect that valuable crop from deer and elk.

If haystacks are poorly protected the animals can quickly get to hay and consume large amounts.

For their “outstanding support of Colorado’s wildlife,” CPW Director Bob Broscheid praised recently retired State Engineer Dick Wolfe, Steve Witte, Arkansas River Basin division engineer, and Bill Tyner, deputy Arkansas River Basin engineer.
