    Wyoming chooses public lands at the ballot box - High Country News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Few issues matter more to Wyoming hunter Jeff Muratore than the fate of the public lands — where he tracks elk and deer to feed his family, where he seeks solace and taught his grandchildren to hunt. A lifelong Republican, Muratore is no liberal: He voted for President Donald Trump and stands by traditionally conservative values like smaller government and fewer regulations. But in Wyoming’s August primary, he could not bring himself to vote for the Trump-endorsed gubernatorial candidate, Megan

    Drought leads to ‘unprecedented’ black bear conflicts in Wyoming - WyoFile (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The 5-year-old black bear had a routine. At nightfall, she would climb down out of one of Laramie’s many cottonwood trees, spend the night searching for tasty morsels in city and residential garbage cans, then by 6 a.m. she would find another tree, climb back up, and sleep off all that garbage while 60, 80 or even 100 feet off the ground. Pictures show her legs free floating on either side of a branch, dangling like a cartoon bear near the city’s historic train depot and across town by baseball

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

The camera lilts slightly from one side to another as the scraggly fur moves up and down, up and down, attached to a mouth that’s chewing lunch perhaps, or dinner, or a snack. Another shot shows bison standing belly deep in a river. In another they’re racing through a snow-covered field. The vantage point for all of these isn’t some far away hillside, it’s right there, among the largest land mammals in N

    Female biologists in Wyoming responsible for groundbreaking research - WyoFile (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Rhiannon Jakopak sat in her sweltering office at the University of Wyoming and stared at lines connecting thousands of dots on maps taped to her wall. It felt like a scene from the early 2000s movie “A Beautiful Mind,” where someone begins to lose their grip on sanity and keeps making connections where there aren’t any. But her problem was the reverse. She wanted to see patterns but couldn’t, at least not everywhere. The UW research scientist and former graduate student had been studying Wyoming
