The importance of winter range to viability of deer and elk populations has long been recognized. Many of the State Wildlife Areas in eastern Washington were originally purchased specifically to protect wintering wildlife. In fact, over 75% of the critical winter range for the Yakima and Colockum elk herds are in a WDFW wildlife area.
