The Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Jackson region would like to invite the public to participate in a community conversation focused on mule deer. This discussion will offer a unique opportunity for the public to engage directly with Game and Fish, share insights and discuss the future of Wyoming’s mule deer management.

The meeting will be held Nov. 18, from 5 pm to 7 pm at the Thayne Community Center in Thayne, WY. Local wildlife biologists and game wardens will be available to discuss various aspects of mule deer management and conservation. Participants are invited to share their opinions on the future of mule deer, explore both statewide and regional challenges and have the opportunity to share their perspectives on local mule deer herds.

Mule deer are a highly-valued species in Wyoming, drawing widespread interest from hunters, landowners and wildlife enthusiasts. However, mule deer populations have declined across the West for decades. Game and Fish is committed to understanding and conserving this iconic species. A recent survey of resident mule deer hunters highlighted a strong desire for many to stay involved in updates and conversations about mule deer. Mule deer community conversations are designed to provide an opportunity for Wyomingites to have those discussions.
