An environmental group says it has reached an agreement with the U.S. Forest Service to remove some corrals it says could impede pronghorn migration in western Wyoming. The group Western Watersheds sued last year over the corrals in the Bridger-Teton National Forest east of Kelly in Jackson Hole. Ranchers use the corral while they graze cattle on public land in the Gros Ventre River drainage. The group says the corrals weren't built in accord with federal rules and could impede antelope migration between Jackson Hole and the Upper Green River Basin. Rancher Amy Robinson says removing the corrals will only be a temporary inconvenience. She says ranchers will continue to do business in the Gros Ventre.
