Wyoming Game & Fish to host mule deer conversations across the state
by Wyoming Game & Fish
October 29, 2024
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is inviting the public to participate in a series of conversations focused on mule deer conservation throughout the state in the coming months. These discussions 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.
Local wildlife biologists and game wardens will facilitate discussions on 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.
"These meetings are intended to provide the public with an opportunity to directly engage with local wildlife managers regarding mule deer conservation and management," said Deputy Chief of Wildlife Justin Binfet.
