Chapter 7, Elk Hunting Seasons At the time of this filing, the 2020 elk harvest information is not yet available to the Department. Individual hunt area regular hunting season dates, special archery hunting season dates, hunt area limitations, license types and license quotas may be modified after harvest data has been evaluated. Any additional proposed changes to regular hunting season dates, special archery hunting season dates, hunt area limitations, numbers of limited quota licenses, license types, hunt area boundaries or modifications to other hunting provisions shall be made available for public comment on the Department website. An updated draft of 2021 elk hunting season proposals will also be posted to the Department website during the later portion of the public comment period. Chapter 7, Elk Hunting Seasons. Elk hunt area 113 is proposed to be open for the 2021 hunting season. Elk hunt area 123 will not offer any Type 1 (any elk) licenses for the 2021 hunting season. These actions are intended to meet the management objectives of these elk hunt areas. Section 4, edits have been proposed to further clarify elk hunting season provisions for persons who qualify for and are in possession of hunting season extension permits. During the 2020 hunting season, special archery season information was repositioned within this regulation and caused some confusion among hunting season extension permit holders. The edited language in this Section is meant to clarify when a hunting season extension permit is valid. Section 8, elk hunt area 114 is being dissolved and the associated geographic area is being incorporated into adjoining hunt areas 10 and 11. Modified hunt area boundary descriptions have been provided for elk hunt areas 10 and 11 accordingly. This edit is meant to address elk distribution and to provide expanded harvest opportunity.

  • An Annotated List of Southeastern Wyoming Rhopalocera

    An Annotated List of Southeastern Wyoming Rhopalocera

    1956 The Lepidopteristi' News 91 AN ANNOTATED LIST OF SOUTHEASTERN WYOMING RHOPALOCERA by GENE R. DEFoLlART Wyoming is among the least known areas entomologically in the United States. The older distribLltion lists of Lepidoptera all too frequently included "Colorado and Montana" in the range of a given species with Wyoming coo­ spicuous by its absence. Although an increasing amount of colleCting by lepidopterists has been done in the State in recent years, the dearth of published information remains. A complete list of the butterflies of the State has never been attempted. KLOTS (1930) recorded 78 species from Wyoming on the basis of colleCting at Moose, Teton County, in the northwest and io the Medicine Bow Range of Albany County in the southeast. While not intended as a state list by irs author, his paper remains the longest published list to date of Wyoming butterfly records. KLOTS recorded 43 species from Albany County with some additional ones from nearby northern Colorado localities. Additional published records, mostly by KLOTS (1937, 1940) and NABOKOV (1953), bring the total to nearly 60 species previously reported as occurring in southeastern Wyoming. The pur­ pose of the present paper is to report for the first time a great number of addi­ tional species occurring in the southeastern area, bringing the total to 127 species, many of which are recorded also for the first time from anywhere in Wyoming. There are many species yet to be recorded from the southeastern area that should turn up with additional collecting. The fauna of the north and west differs markedly from that of the southeast.

  • Status of Plant Species of Special Concern in US Forest Service

    Status of Plant Species of Special Concern in US Forest Service

    Status of Plant Species of Special Concern In US Forest Service Region 4 In Wyoming Report prepared for the US Forest Service By Walter Fertig Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming PO Box 3381 Laramie, WY 82071 20 January 2000 INTRODUCTION The US Forest Service is directed by the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and internal policy (through the Forest Service Manual) to manage for listed and candidate Threatened and Endangered plant species on lands under its jurisdiction. The Intermountain Region of the Forest Service (USFS Region 4) has developed a Sensitive species policy to address the management needs of rare plants that might qualify for listing under the ESA (Joslin 1994). The objective of this policy is to prevent Forest Service actions from contributing to the further endangerment of Sensitive species and their subsequent listing under the ESA. In addition, the Forest Service is required to manage for other rare species and biological diversity under provisions of the National Forest Management Act. The current Sensitive plant species list for Region 4 (covering Ashley, Bridger-Teton, Caribou, Targhee, and Wasatch-Cache National Forests and Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in Wyoming) was last revised in 1994 (Joslin 1994). Field studies by botanists with the Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Herbarium, Wyoming Natural Diversity Database (WYNDD), and private consulting firms since 1994 have shown that several currently listed species may no longer warrant Sensitive designation, while some new species should be considered for listing. Region 4 is currently reviewing its Sensitive plant list and criteria for listing. This report has been prepared to provide baseline information on the statewide distribution and abundance of 127 plants listed as “species of special concern” by WYNDD (Table 1) (Fertig and Beauvais 1999).

  • Botanical and Ecological Inventory of Peatland Sites on the Medicine Bow National Forest

    Botanical and Ecological Inventory of Peatland Sites on the Medicine Bow National Forest

    Botanical and Ecological Inventory of Peatland Sites on the Medicine Bow National Forest Prepared for Medicine Bow National Forest By Bonnie Heidel and Scott Laursen Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming P.O. Box 3381 Laramie, WY 82071 FS Agreement No. 02-CS-11021400-012 June 2003 ABSTRACT Peatlands are specialized wetland habitats that harbor high concentrations of Wyoming plant species of special concern. Intensive botanical and ecological inventories were conducted at five select peatland sites on Medicine Bow National Forest to further document the vascular flora, update information on plant species of special concern, initiate documentation of the bryophyte flora composition, and to document the vegetation associations. This provides a preliminary summary of peatland botanical and ecological resources on Medicine Bow National Forest, data for comparison between sites, and both floristic and vegetation plot datasets for comparison between Medicine Bow National Forest and Shoshone National Forest where parallel studies were undertaken. It might be used for more more extensive systematic inventories of peatlands and their associated botanical and ecological attributes across the Forest, or related efforts to evaluate watershed, wildlife, and other values associated with peatlands. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS John Proctor (USFS Medicine Bow NF) contributed to fieldwork and provided Forest Service coordination that made this project a reality. Judy Harpel (USFS) made the moss species identifications for a segment of moss specimens, and provided encouragement in bryophyte research. George Jones (WYNDD) and Kathy Roche (USFS Medicine Bow NF) provided literature and comments on site selection and study aspects. Gary Beauvais provided administrative support. Chris Hiemstra and Mark Lyford (UW) provided study site data.
