Wyoming asks hunters to spare collared wildlife
Original: Try not to shoot collared wildlife, Wyoming Game and Fish asks
Wyoming Game and Fish is asking hunters to avoid shooting animals wearing research collars. The department's request, reported by the Billings Gazette, is aimed at protecting GPS-collared elk, deer, moose and other wildlife whose collars provide scientists with vital data on migration patterns and population health. Hunters are being reminded that collared animals can still be legally taken in some cases, but sparing them helps ongoing research efforts.
Why now: Hunting season is prompting wildlife officials to remind hunters about collared animals
