Pronghorn Collared for Migration Data
The Sublette pronghorn herd is the Cowboy state’s largest, currently numbering some 35,000 animals with a herd population objective of 48,000. With the large number of animals that have been collared over the years, the dataset for the Sublette herd is very robust.

Game and Fish Explores Angler Use and Commercial Guiding on Large Rivers
Anglers enjoy a sunny fall day on the New Fork River near Pinedale.

Though both attempts ultimately failed in the State Legislature, ongoing interest in the subject will likely continue.
During the months of July and September, the WGFD operated time-lapse cameras at 23 locations on five large rivers,
including the Big Horn, Green, New Fork, North Platte and
Salt rivers. Learn more in the 2020 Pinedale Angler Newsletter…

Wyoming Wildlife Magazine announces new calendar photo contest
If you are a photographer and love wildlife this is a great opportunity for you to share your work. This contest is different from the traditional Wyoming Wildlife Magazine calendar contest.
The photo contest in the fall has different categories, but the calendar one is only wildlife. It’s also good for people to consider that the calendar is printed with photos in a horizontal orientation, so submissions will need to be cropped to fit the calendar’s dimensions. Plus, people have 10 entries so using those to submit from a variety of seasons means their images will be considered for different months.
