Newborn Wildlife
As many as 300,000 deer and antelope fawns in addition to other young species will be introducing themselves to the public in the coming weeks-and that has often meant people mistaking these young animals as being abandoned. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is again urging citizens to stay away from what might appear to be orphaned or abandoned newborn wildlife.
Each year, well-intentioned people come by Game and Fish offices with young animals they claim were abandoned. But in reality, removing that “orphaned” animal is in most cases kidnapping it from its mother. The mothers of these young wildlife need to get out and forage to provide milk for their young, and if they sense danger is close by will walk far away from their young in order to draw attention away from it.
Baby birds often fall from tree nests before they can fly. These chicks are regularly found by children or adults who assume it needs assistance, but leaving the chick alone is the best course of action. Chicks continue to be protected and fed by one or sometimes both of the parent birds. It is a myth that birds abandon their chicks after they are handled by humans, but picking up or moving the chick will stress it and the adult birds caring for it.
In some instances, people try to make a pet out of the animal. Not a good idea-state and federal laws forbid possession of game and many non-game animals…and humans aren’t really equipped to provide for wild animals, as the animal becomes dangerous, too much to handle, and may even carry diseases harmful to you or your other pets.
If you come across an instance where it’s determined the mother is dead and the young animal is indeed abandoned, the best thing to do is call a game warden or local biologist. If you think you’re “saving” one of these animals by taking it from its home-think again: You’re probably ensuring its demise.

Teaching Trout

The last few weeks of the school year can be challenging for students and teachers alike; a big reason is that the outdoors is calling, and kids would rather be out there than inside. 1500 Wyoming schoolkids got their wish in early May-and got a biology lesson in the process. It began back in January, when a shipment of rainbow trout eggs arrived at their schools, with a task for the students t...

Flaming Gorge Regulation Change
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 14 dny
It’s pretty common catching one of these badboys in Flaming Gorge Reservoir-lake trout in the 30 pound range are the goal of many anglers who visit here. But the abundance of “smaller” lake trout of the 18-22 inch variety has caused higher predation of other game fish species, particularly kokanee salmon. And it’s prompted the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to propose changing up a few regula...

      Just because someone killed a wolf and yes, I do disagree on the way how he killed. The wolf doesn’t mean Wyoming is a state where we torture animals. I’ve lived here my entire life. I disagree with them introducing wolves because the original wolves that were here are now extinctand elk are declining nowadays because of these new wolves in my opinion, I think they should just be tranquilized and brought back to Canada where they originally were that’s where the wolves came from

    Born and raised in Wyoming, been gone for 30 years. Never had enough money growing up to even explore all the places in Wyoming I used to read about in Wyoming Wildlife.
