JACKSON - This fall, Game and Fish will issue a third as many tags for hunting female and juvenile bighorn sheep in the Gros Ventre Range after winter weather and mountain lion predation in 2023 culled the herd. Following helicopter surveys in 2023 and 2024, biologists believe there are about 400 sheep dwelling in the mountains east of Jackson Hole, which is the Wyoming Game and Fish Department's objective for the herd. That's a far cry from 2021 and 2022, when the number of far-sighted sheep...
CASPER - Wyoming is home to a whopping 50% of the world's pronghorn, the iconic ungulate so named for its laterally flattened, blade-like horns. But that may not be the case forever, as a new study shows that Wyoming is becoming a less friendly place for pronghorn to foster offspring. A team of researchers this week published a study showing that pronghorn herds in the Cowboy State are experiencing long-term declines in productivity as a result of two primary factors: oil and gas development...

JACKSON — After years of deliberation, Wyoming has a plan for one of the longest-standing – and most controversial – wildlife management practices in the Cowboy State: feeding elk and maintaining elk feedgrounds. Though Idaho and Montana have eliminated elk feeding programs, except in emergency situations, Wyoming has continued to lay out feedlines for wintering wapiti. The state feeds elk to maintain population numbers and entice elk to winter away from private land, where they can cause property damage, eat ranchers’ hay, and spread disease...

Citing concerns over the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches, Gov. Mark Gordon vetoed a bill Friday afternoon that would have earmarked $75 million for lawmakers to bring legal action against the federal government over land-use plans.

While the restrictions have been put...

CHEYENNE-When Rep. Karlee Provenza arrived at the Wyoming Capitol this legislative budget session, three death threats were waiting in her mailbox. The Democrat from Laramie says she has watched people stand in the gallery overlooking the House of Representatives, trying to intimidate her "all day." It's likely that come the Legislature's 2025 general session, those same folks trying to bully Provenza could legally be carrying firearms. "In this space where I'm receiving death threats, I don't n...
