Whiskey Mountain prescribed burn to improve Wyoming bighorn sheep habitat By Brendan LaChance on February 3, 2021 (Wyoming Game and Fish Department) CASPER, Wyo. — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department said on Monday that a prescribed burn will be conducted within the Whiskey Basin Wildlife Habitat Management Area south of Dubois “in the late winter or early spring of 2021.” Game and Fish and the Shoshone National Forest are conducting the prescribed burn as “part of a multi-year effort identified in the Whiskey Mountain Bighorn Sheep Plan to improve bighorn sheep habitat on and around the Whiskey Basin WHMA.” “The fire will precede farming activities that will serve to improve supplemental winter forage for bighorn sheep,” Game and Fish added.
