The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is thenkful to the Jackson Chapter of Safari Club International for their recent donation of elk and pronghorn antelope decoys. The Decoys will be used for enforcement operations throughout the state. The chapter also donated funding to be used for a bighorn sheep research project in the Jackson area.
One elk decoy will be used in the Jackson Region, another will be used in the Green River Region and the new pronghorn antelope decoy has already been used in the Casper Region earlier this fall.
During one afternoon in early October, Game and Fish enforcement officials set up the decoy northeast of Casper and monitored it for illegal hunting activity.
In addition to the decoys, the Jackson SCI Chapter donated $1,500 to help purchase GPS telemetry collars to learn more about bighorn sheep distribution and movements in the Gros Ventre drainage.
In the past, the chapter also donated $3,000 to help purchase GPS collars for elk. This work was to monitor the migration patterns of elk spending the summer and fall in the South Yellowstone /Teton Wilderness areas.
