    2024 Boating Season - Aquatic Invasive Species

    The summer boating season is soon to kick off, and in some places, watercraft users have already started thanks to the mild winter Wyoming is having. As boaters and other watercraft users prepare for warmer waters, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Aquatic Invasive Species program is already in operation. Many watercraft check stations opened, as they usually do, on March 1. What do watercraft users need to know heading into another boating season, and what happens if an aquatic invasive species like a zebra or quagga mussel is found on your watercraft? Josh Leonard is the Statewide Aquatic Invasive Species Coordinator for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and joins us on today's podcast.

    Bighorn Sheep Ewe Hunting

    Since the 1930’s disease outbreaks have caused losses up to 50-90 percent of the Jackson Hole Bighorn Sheep herd. What can be done about it? One effort to address the issue is to reduce the herd size by offering more ewe licenses for hunters.  Today on “Get Outside”  we’ll talk with two biologists—Aly Courtemanch from the Jackson region, and Daryl Lutz, wildlife biologist from the Lander region, who has similar concerns with the Ferris-Seminoe Bighorn Sheep herd…

  5. Game & Fish to Raise Warm Water Fish at Speas Hatchery

    Game & Fish to Raise Warm Water Fish at Speas Hatchery

    Last year, the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission approved $17.5 million to begin research, development, and set-up for raising cool and warm water fish in Wyoming; the existing Speas Hatchery near Casper was selected for expansion. Walleye, Channel Catfish, Bluegill, White and Black Crappie, Largemouth Bass, Tiger Muskie, and Sauger will be produced there, enabling Game and Fish to produce a reliable and diverse supply of cool/warm water fish species for Wyoming's anglers and eliminating the potential of introducing an aquatic invasive species or prohibited fish pathogen into Wyoming.

  6. Fishing in the Laramie Region

    Fishing in the Laramie Region

    In terms of sheer diversity for the number of places to fish in Wyoming, the Laramie region of southeast Wyoming has practically every kind of fishing one might want; from high elevation fishing in the Snowy Range Mountains, large reservoir fishing in Grayrocks reservoir, high plains lakes fishing near Laramie, and multiple rivers and lakes to fish from.  Bobby Compton is the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Laramie Region Fisheries Supervisor.  Today on “Get Outside” we’ll do a drive-around of the Laramie region’s fishing areas, talk about management strategies, and give folks an idea of the variety of fishing opportunities in this region of Wyoming.

  7. Wyoming Range Outlook/Dry Piney Underpasses

    Wyoming Range Outlook/Dry Piney Underpasses

    2023 has been a busy year for the western part of Wyoming regarding mule deer management—a brutal winter that was perhaps one of the most devastating winters on record may have been the most impactful winter to this herd since it was conceptualized in 1982. Wyoming hunters are looking to this winter with interest as a precipitation-rich spring and summer has produced improved forage conditions…while wondering what might happen if we get a repeat winter like last year. On another front, mule deer in the region will have one less hazard to contend with, and that's the crossing of Highway 189 near Big Piney.   Wyoming Game and Fish Wildlife Biologist Gary Fralick weighs in to discuss both topics.

    2023 Hunt Season Outlook

    Due to severe winter impacts, Wyoming Game and Fish department wildlife managers made significant adjustments to hunting season proposals in many areas of the state and proposed an overall decrease of 10,290 antelope licenses and 4,410 mule deer licenses. Seasons were finalized by the G&F commission in April.  What impacts did the winter have on big game herds in the state?  How will hunters be impacted?  Doug Brimeyer is the Deputy Wildlife Division Chief for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.  Each year he presents to the G&F Commission the status of wildlife herds in the state, what the public has weighed in on, and what regional biologists recommended for hunt seasons in their region, and is our guest on this episode of "Get Outside."
