It was a great day for the first race of the season. It was nice and cool with fast kids. We had a change of venue this year for our first meet this season, and we saw great things from our kids. The junior high had their first meet of the year also, having three girls - Erin Griese, Shelby Thurin and Gracie Keiter - and one boy - Sam Jensen - in the top 10 in their respective races. A fantastic way to start out the season, and a great way to get rid of first race jitters. The junior high boys...
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department urges hunters and other backcountry users to be cautious when recreating in bear country, and to carry and know how to use bear spray. “As bears become more active and hunters begin to pursue game in the field, we want our recreationists to be ‘bear aware’,” said Dusty Lasseter, Bear Wise community coordinator for Game and Fish. “As hunters, we do exactly the opposite of what we would have most recreationists do to avoid bear encounters,” Lasseter said. “Hunters typically move quietly, camouflage th...

Wyoming Game and Fish Department personnel and other partners joined together to visit over 1,600 sage grouse breeding grounds, or leks, this year. The effort was part of the annual count of greater sage grouse. Each year Game and Fish, volunteers, private consultants and federal agencies visit as many of the known leks to record the numbers of male sage grouse. “What we saw across the state was consistent with several neighboring states and that was an uptick in the number of male sage grouse on the leks,” said Tom Christiansen, Game and Fis...

The exception is for holders of Type 9 archery only licenses. Persons h...
