PROJECT PROFILES
On a mission for you
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department works throughout the year to fulfill the mission of " conserving wildlife, serving people. "
Here are a few of the highlights of work in 2021:
6: Nearly 6 million fish from Game and Fish hatcheries
and rearing stations were stocked in 370 waters
throughout Wyoming.
168: Number of people who completed Game and Fish's
Cutt-Slam through late October. The Cutt-Slam is when
people catch and document the four subspecies of cutthroat
trout in their native ranges in the state.
9: Number of cases from Wyoming worked on by the Game
and Fish's Wildlife Forensic Fish Health Laboratory since
January. The lab received 43 submissions since January,
and range in species from elk, black bear, mule deer,
white-tailed deer and pronghorn.
36: Approximately 36,000 pheasants raised on Game and
Fish-operated bird farms in Sheridan and Yoder. About
32,000 of those pheasants were released on public lands
in Wyoming. Thousands of birds are held back annually
for breeding recruitment and later released in the spring.
53: Participants at Game and Fish's Becoming and Outdoors-Woman
- known as BOW - and Beyond BOW camps.
76: Kids who attended eight Game and Fish summer
camps.
118: Miles of wildlife-friendly fence converted or installed
across the state. Game and Fish also removed nearly 31
miles of old and outdated fences throughout Wyoming.
156.7: Square miles of land in the state treated for cheatgrass,
an invasive plant species. That equates to 100,278
acres. In 2020 Game and Fish treated 82,182 acres.
450: The Game and Fish's services division maintains
nearly 450,000 acres of Wyoming Game and Fish Commission-owned
Wildlife Habitat Management Areas, and
closes 165,000 acres each winter to protect wildlife during
the coldest months of the year.
924: Watercraft decontaminations conducted at Game
and Fish aquatic invasive species check stations. Personnel
inspected 68,140 boats and other watercraft.
4,000: More than 4,000 lymph node samples from deer,
elk and moose have been tested for chronic wasting disease
by Game and Fish Wildlife Health Laboratory in
Laramie through late October. It is estimated more than
6,500 samples will be tested by the end of 2021.
4,547: Pounds of big game meat donated by hunters to the
Food from the Field program and distributed to food banks
and families throughout the state through late October.
The program features several partners, including Game
and Fish, and is convened by First Lady Jennie Gordon.
