The Wyoming Game and Fish Department wants to hear from the public on the proposed agreement to put Wyoming wolves under state control before the special meeting that will be held in Casper on September 14th. .A public meeting will be held on August 25th at Western Wyoming Community College in Rock Springs at 7 PM.

Just last week, the state and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service agreed to a deal that would remove wolves in Wyoming from the endangered list and put them under state management. The plan calls for wolves in the northwest part of the state to be protected as trophy game, meaning they could only be hunted with a license. In addition, a flex area would be created in Sublette and Lincoln counties, in which wolves would be protected only from Oct. 15 until the end of the following February so they can connect with other wolves in Idaho. Unregulated killing of the animals would be permitted in the rest of the state. Members of the public can submit their comments about the proposed plan in advance of the meeting, either in writing between now and Sept. 9 or at one of eight public meetings scheduled around the state between Aug. 23-31.
