Don Hall is an avid snowmobiler, but instead of heading for the hills each winter in search of deep powder, he takes an older snowmachine to lower elevations nearer the snow line. There’s a reason the Riverton resident prefers the lower zones despite the rocks, fences and sage most riders avoid: That’s where the coyotes are.

Wyoming allows snowmobilers to run down wildlife. Despite global outrage, it may stay legal.

Wyoming’s U.S. Sen. John Barrasso and Rep. Harriet Hageman handily staved off Republican challengers in Tuesday’s primary election. The Associated Press called the race at 8 p.m.

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

Belpre kept a clean sheet against Shenandoah on Tuesday. Everything went their way against the Shenandoah Zeps as they made off with a 4-0 victory. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Golden Eagles also won the last time the pair played back in October of 2023.

CARTER COUNTY, Tenn. - The Cherokee National Forest has announced the temporary closure of the Little Stoney Dispersed Camping Area on Watauga Lake, effective August 30, due to public health and safety concerns. The closure comes in response to a significant amount of trash left by visitors, which has attracted bears to the site, creating potential dangers for both humans and wildlife.

FREMONT COUNTY—It’s been a breakneck six weeks, but this morning, 84-year-old Jack Malmberg can take a breather. Malmberg and his crew — four people and 12 Belgian horses — last night finished mowing, raking and baling hay for about 30 clients on several hundred acres of Fremont County land.

Crews have mostly contained a massive northern Wyoming wildfire that ignited less than a week ago, authorities said Monday. But other fires in the area, including two burning in Campbell County and one in Sheridan County, continue to grow. A fifth major blaze near the Continental Divide, meantime, continues to affect the northwest corner of the state.

A developing tropical disturbance in the Caribbean is showing increasing potential to enter the eastern Gulf of Mexico, intensify, and impact areas along the Gulf Coast, likely between Florida and Louisiana. If the system gains a name, it will be designated Tropical Storm Debby. This system has the potential to bring significant rainfall to the eastern Gulf Coast, and depending on its strength, could also generate hazardous winds and a dangerous storm surge.

WHITE MOUNTAIN—“That’s a lot of horses,” lamented Cheyenne resident Robyn Smith from a high-desert ridgeline. It wasn’t her first exasperated exclamation. “Argh, oh crap,” was her immediate reaction to learning a federal judge had given the Bureau of Land Management the OK to proceed with plans to fully remove two wild horse herds from the landscape in southwest Wyoming.

Sophocles is said to have written, “Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.” Wise words indeed, but if last week’s election was any indication, succeeding through fraud may unfortunately be Wyoming’s new future.
