Pronghorn

After a historically harsh winter in southeast and south central Wyoming, the death toll to some wildlife is only now being fully revealed. Consequently, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) is further cutting pronghorn hunting tags by 75 percent in these areas.

Significantly fewer mule deer and pronghorn will be available for hunting in Wyoming this year compared to the past.The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission approved the 2023 hunting seasons this week in their April meeting. About 10,000 less pronghorn tags will be available across the state compared to last year, and about 4,000 less mule deer tags.

A rare bacterial pneumonia disease has taken out at least 500 antelope south of Pinedale, and that number is likely to rise as more bodies are uncovered from snowmelt.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is reducing the number of pronghorn and mule deer hunting tags for this year. Officials say it is largely due to disease and drought.

On Tuesday, May 10, four conservation groups appealed a federal decision to uphold a natural gas drilling project outside of Pinedale.
