The Pinedale Anticline in southwestern Wyoming historically provided wintering grounds for abundant numbers of mule deer—an icon of the American West. These federal public lands also host one of our nation’s largest producing natural gas fields. A recently released federal report documents declines of 60 percent in mule deer numbers since development began in the project area a decade ago. The Bureau of Land Management is required by law to manage our public lands with the goal of sustaining a range of uses, including energy development as well as hunting and angling. This approach is clearly not being executed on the Pinedale Anticline, as the plummeting mule deer numbers attest. Take a moment to contact Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. Ask him to ensure that the BLM and the Department of the Interior uphold their commitment to America’s fish and wildlife legacy and outdoor heritage
