CHEYENNE — A virtual special meeting of the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission will be held Friday, May 29. The meeting will include discussion and consideration of a vote on a land acquisition of 368 acres next to the Table Mountain Wildlife Habitat Management Area in Goshen County.

The meeting can be accessed via Zoom, with the open session beginning at 9 a.m.

The property under consideration is located off of County Road 55 y, adjacent to the southeastern portion of the Table Mountain WHMA, and will be included in the WHMA if approved for purchase. The parcel includes  84 acres of associated water rights.  

The property will remain in agricultural production, and Game and Fish will continue to pay property taxes. This acquisition will expand and enhance wildlife habitat and allow increased hunting opportunities for the sporting public. 

The Table Mountain WHMA is managed cooperatively with the Bureau of Land Management. The unit provides year-round recreation access for activities like hunting, trapping, camping, hiking and wildlife viewing, and is closed to motor vehicle traffic from Oct. 1-May 16.
