Roadkill Up
If you have done much driving around Jackson Hole in the past month, no doubt you have seen more than one road-killed deer, elk or moose along the roadside. Wyoming Game and Fish Spokesman Mark Gocke doesn’t have the statistical evidence, but from observations over the past several years, Gocke says he thinks the number of animals killed on the highway is higher than usual. Gocke says motorists need to be careful wherever they drive in the valley, but there are some areas that there always seems to be more activity than others. Gocke says it is important right now that drivers take it slow, pay attention and expect to see animals – especially at night or early morning.
