Buckrail Daily: Winter wildlife closures begin Sunday // Golden eagle restoration

Today’s news is brought to you by Snake River Sporting Club.

“When people or their dogs enter closed winter range, wildlife is forced to move away, a retreat that requires animals like deer, elk, moose and bighorn sheep to use energy they cannot spare as they deal with cold temperatures and limited forage.”

Starting on Sunday, winter wildlife restrictions will be in effect on Bridger-Teton National Forest.
