Celebrate hunting and fishing with your family at the UW football game Oct. 26

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is inviting the public to celebrate hunting and fishing from 3 p.m.-5 p.m. on Oct. 26, with an event for families at the University of Wyoming football game. The public is invited to join Game and Fish at the Pepsi Pregame Zone in the Indoor Practice Facility before kickoff against Utah State. 

“This event gives Wyoming youth the opportunity to learn about the state’s wildlife with those who dedicate their lives to conservation and serving the public,” Game and Fish Director Angi Bruce said. “Enjoying Wyoming’s wildlife and spending time outside improves your health, your mood and well-being. It is who we are in Wyoming. We hope to leave a lasting mark on everyone who gets to visit with us and inspire them to protect our outdoor heritage.” 

According to the Department, kids will have the opportunity to learn from Game and Fish staff and build their hunting and fishing skills with hands-on activities. Attendees can learn how to safely use an air rifle, navigate through a hunter safety trail, learn how to identify wildlife and more. 

Game and Fish state this is also a good opportunity to talk one-on-one with biologists and game wardens about important topics like chronic wasting disease, hunter safety and keeping Wyoming safe from aquatic invasive species.
