Almost half the state – 48.2% – is made up of federal public lands supported by all Americans.  Wolfwatcher petitioned WY Game and Fish with 2 public information requests – paid for them in full – with no response other than being told that the contents of both requests sit on the Attorney General’s desk.  So, wolfwatchers, perhaps it is time Wyoming hears from all of us!

We ask that you please email/call the officials below – tell them that you want the state of Wyoming to honor its legal obligation to provide us with the required information as per 2 public information requests filed with WY Game and Fish as of Dec. 4^th.   We have a right to know this public information.
