*Drivers reminded to watch for wildlife*

Wildlife on road

CHEYENNE — Drivers are involved in more than 7,600 wildlife collisions on Wyoming roadways annually. The majority of those crashes — 80-85% — are with mule deer. The crash risk with mule deer increases in the fall and spring when they follow historical pathways to their winter and summer ranges. *While roadway modifications are being made throughout the state to help with safe wildlife passage, drivers can aid deer to safety as well.

*CWD found in new Wyoming hunt areas*

CHEYENNE — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has confirmed the presence of chronic wasting disease in Deer Hunt Areas 31 and 94 and Elk Hunt Area 126 through hunter-harvested surveillance. *To ensure hunters are informed, Game and Fish announces when CWD is found in a new hunt area.

*Toss your pumpkins in the trash*
Pumpkin carving

CHEYENNE — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is asking residents to properly dispose of pumpkins instead of leaving them out for wildlife to eat. It may seem harmless to leave pumpkins out, but it is quite the opposite, especially for mule deer whose digestive system cannot process unnatural foods. This often leads to sick animals.* Pumpkins left outside also can attract scavenging animals from raccoons to bears. [ [link removed] ]*
