Wildlife managers with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department are encouraging people not to camp near water holes. Rock Springs Game Warden Dave Hays says camping near a water source can prevent wildlife from coming in and getting the water it needs. If dry conditions persist, Hays says fewer springs and stock ponds will continue to offer water to wildlife. He says adults and newly born animals will have to travel farther for water. Not camping on top of water holes or on well-established trails that lead to water gives wildlife a better chance of surviving the drought period.
