LANDER – As the weather changes, many big game animals leave their summer and fall ranges for traditional wintering areas, which the Wyoming Game and Fish Department said poses a hazard to the motoring public.

Two local areas of high wildlife traffic are Wyoming Highway 28 between Lander and South Pass and Wyoming Highway 26/287 between Crowheart and Dubois. These areas have consistently seen large losses of big game animals and increased wildlife collisions in the fall.
