• Chronic Wasting Disease detected on National Elk Refuge (wyomingpublicmedia.org) — Chronic Wasting Disease has now been confirmed on the National Elk Refuge, shortly after a detection near Pinedale’s elk feedgrounds, raising concerns for herds locals hunt and watch. Wildlife officials and conservation groups say the spread underscores pressure to rethink Wyoming’s long‑standing winter feeding operations and balance ranching, hunting traditions, and elk health. 
• Disease outbreak cuts Wyoming, Yellowstone wolf numbers to l... (semissourian.com) — A Pinedale-based state biologist reports that a canine distemper outbreak sharply reduced Wyoming’s wolf population in 2025, including packs near Yellowstone.

The findings shape how wildlife around Pinedale may be managed going forward.
