Fall hunt season meetings in Thayne, Jackson and Pinedale
by Wyoming Game & Fish
March 14, 2018
The Wyoming Game and FIsh Department invites the public to participate in the 2018 big game season setting process. This year's regional season setting public meetings will be held in Thayne, Jackson and Pinedale.
Local Game and Fish biologists and wardens will be at all meetings to discuss big game population data collected this winter and any resulting season changes being proposed for next fall. Local wildlife managers say they are likely to be proposing big game hunting seasons similar to last year in most cases. Wildlife managers also will be available to discuss small game, game birds and waterfowl seasons.
This year, the Jackson will meeting will also be an open-house style meeting as managers believe it to be a more productive format. "Often attendees are only interested in a certain few hunting seasons and an open house style format allows them to discuss those with us without having to sit through presentations on all the other seasons," said Jackson Region Wildlife Supervisor, Brad Hovinga. "We just feel it will be a better use of everyone’s time."
The public is encouraged to attend one of the public meetings held in each Game and Fish region to discuss the proposals.
Wednesday, March 21: 6PM, Thayne, Elementary School
Thursday, March 22: 6PM, Jackson, Teton County Library
Thursday, March 22: 6PM, Pinedale, Game and Fish Regional Office
