Migration Update for week 5 🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌 #Deer 665 made it to Teton Pass in #jacksonHole ! This is very close to her summer range in 2022. Thanks everyone who followed this amazing 180-mile migration from the Red Desert. #Deer #IBrakeForMigration #wildlife #Wyoming #conservation
This #WyoPronghorn herd had to cross two sections of fence and a highway in deep snow. Compounding barriers like fences and roads make it harder for animals to get to where they need to go. #IBrakeForMigration #MondaysSuck

Today Wyoming Migration Initiative is at the #uwstemcarnival with our interactive Migration Roulette game and Migration Barriers exhibit. Free candy and #IBrakeForMigration bumper stickers! We’ll be asking folks to pick their fave migration corridor on a map of Wyoming. #knowyourcorridors
13: This aerial view of #TrappersPoint , is from the 400 MILES TO CROSS film I made with Wayward Productions. Mule deer and pronghorn both migrate through here each spring and fall, unhampered by the highway traffic on US 191. #conservation #ibrakeformigration #knowyourcorridors

At the end of this second week of migration, #Deer 665 crested part of the Continental Divide at Hoback Rim, a known bottleneck for migrating #Deer and #Pronghorn . A great spot along US 191 to say #IBrakeForMigration .
Catch us next week for another migration update!
