Jackson adjusts seasonal opening of antler shed lands
JACKSON, Wyo. (KIFI)-In coordination with the opening of the shed and horn collection season, the Jackson Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest has issued a special order. It allows access to critical winter range at 6 a.m. on May 1.
That aligns with the opening time of the National Elk Refuge and the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission’s antler collection statute.
The special order defines winter travel restrictions for the Jackson and Blackrock Ranger Districts, designed to protect wintering wildlife and their habitat from the disturbance caused by over-snow vehicles and human presence.
