The Path Still Taken
One thing is certain, the mechanics of migrations, particularly of our treasured and beloved big game, were once largely unknown by modern man. Invisible. We knew they were there, but we did not know much about how they got there or about their journey. In the September issue of Wyoming Wildlife magazine, we dive into the epic journey of big game migrations.

Hunting season is around the corner for some locations throughout Wyoming. No matter the species or method of harvest, it’s wise to know and follow a few safety tips to make sure that dream hunt doesn’t turn into a tragedy.

Fall fire safety a must for hunters
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department reminds hunters and campers that fall months in Wyoming can cause dry conditions, bringing with it an increased risk for wildfires. Campfire safety measures are extremely important during this time.

Collared wildlife vital for management research
This fall, hunters across the state may see mule deer, elk, pronghorn, moose and bighorn sheep wearing radio and GPS collars as part of ongoing research projects. While it is legal to harvest collared animals, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department asks hunters to avoid targeting them because they have a collar. These collars are part of important studies designed to better understand habitat use, survival and herd health. This research directly shapes management decisions.

The ultimate opportunity
In Wyoming, hunters are allowed to draw one bighorn sheep license in their lives — with one exception.
If you win the Super Tag, your once-in-a-lifetime limit does not apply. You also get to keep any accumulated preference points if you haven't yet received a license through the regular draw.
