The Commission will vote to approve management objectives for the Cooper Lake pronghorn herd unit and the Paintrock, Pumpkin Buttes and Upper Powder River mule deer herd units, along with three regulations:

  • Chapter 2, General Hunting Regulations.

Planned informational presentations by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department include an update on the employee housing project in Jackson, the proposed cool/warm-water facility at Speas Hatchery and landowner licenses.
