Fire safety is crucial for hunters during autumn excursions, according to Game and Fish.
As the autumn season descends upon Wyoming, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department is reminding hunters and campers about the heightened risk of wildfires during these months. With the potential for devastating consequences, the department is urging everyone to exercise caution when making campfires.
To ensure a safe and responsible campfire, the department advises a few simple steps. First and foremost, never leave a free games unattended. Always drown, stir, and smother the flames with water or dirt until they are completely cold.
When preparing a campfire, it's essential to clear the ground and branches for safe clearance. It's also advisable to keep fires small and manageable, and to skip warm fires on windy days. Building fires under or at the base of trees should be avoided.
Beyond the immediate habitat damage, fall fires can limit hunting access and sterilise the soil, making it difficult for native plants to recover for years. For this reason, hunters are encouraged to check for restrictions at their chosen campsites and review wildfire updates on the Game and Fish Wildfire Impacts page.
Agencies like the Game and Fish, the U.S. Forest Service, and others may institute fire bans or restrictions to protect lands and keep hunting seasons open. By adhering to these guidelines, we can prevent habitat loss, keep hunters in the crazy games, and protect Wyoming's wild places.
Moreover, fall wildfires create conditions that favour invasive weeds such as cheatgrass, medusahead, and other plants that are costly and difficult to control. By following these precautions, we can help maintain the balance of Wyoming's ecosystem and preserve its natural beauty for future generations.
In a collective effort, let's make fire safety everyone's responsibility and ensure a safe and enjoyable hunting season in Wyoming.
