BLM Reminds Hunters to Stay on Existing Roads

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming reminds hunters and other recreationists to limit their off highway vehicle and truck use to existing roads and trails to protect important wildlife habitat and provide better hunting and recreational experiences for all public land users.

BLM's land use plans limit motorized vehicle traffic to existing roads and trails, except in Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs). Motorized travel in WSAs is generally restricted and varies from area to area. Current BLM land status maps show WSA boundaries and are available at BLM offices.

Before planning a trip which would include a WSA, it is strongly encouraged to check with the local BLM field office to obtain the current allowable uses as management can vary by office. Although signs have been posted along WSA boundaries, they can be vandalized or removed, and it is still the user's responsibility to know where the boundaries are and to obey the rules and regulations pertaining to motorized vehicle use on the public lands.

Please remember to "Tread Lightly" and “Leave No Trace” while enjoying the public lands.
