Game and Fish to gather public comment on Sublette antelope migration corridor risk assessment
CHEYENNE - Throughout April, public meetings will be held to seek input regarding the ongoing designation of the Sublette antelope migration corridor. Game and Fish wildlife managers are moving forward with this designation process, in accordance with Wyoming’s Migration Corridor Executive Order.
The meetings will allow the public to ask questions, provide feedback, and discuss the identified migration corridor as well as the biological risk and opportunity assessment.
“Wyoming’s open landscapes provide key migration paths for species such as mule deer and antelope,” said Game and Fish Deputy Director of External Affairs Doug Brimeyer. “Evaluating these vital movement areas is an important measure towards conserving habitats and maintaining healthy big game populations in the state. Collaboration with landowners, agency managers and the public is an essential part of this process.”
Three public meetings will be held to gather input at the following locations:
Date | Time | City | Location |
April 9, 2025 | 6:00 p.m. | Green River | WWCC John Wesley Powell Room 1 College Way Room #206 |
April 10, 2025 | 3:00 p.m. | Jackson | Wyoming Game and Fish Regional Office 420 N. Cache |
April 15, 2025 | 6:00 p.m. | Pinedale | Sublette Co. Library Lovatt Room 155 S Tyler Ave |
The steps toward designating a migration corridor are outlined in the Wyoming Mule Deer and Antelope Migration Corridor Protection Executive Order. The Commission voted to identify the corridor and move forward in the designation process at its March 2024 meeting in Pinedale.
After considering the identified corridor, the biological risk assessment and public comment, the Game and Fish Commission will vote on whether to recommend to Governor Gordon that the identified corridor be formally designated at their July 2025 meeting in Evanston.
The deadline to submit comments is 5 p.m. May 2, 2025. Written comments will be presented to the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission before the July 2025 meeting. Comments can be submitted through our online form or by mail to the Pinedale Regional Game and Fish Office, PO Box 850, Pinedale, WY 82941.
