U.S. Department of Agriculture seeking public comments

the scope of the environmental analysis and to identify potential issues to be considered by the Forest Service.

The Britania proposal would exchange six parcels totaling approximately 1,297 acres of reserved public domain status National Forest System (NFS) lands located in Albany County for three parcels of private land totaling approximately 804 acres in northeast Albany County and south- west Carbon County.

Parcels in the land exchange must be of equal appraised value monetarily and not necessarily an equal number of federal acres versus non-federal acres exchanged.

Per a Forest Service feasibility analysis completed in fall 2022 and as a first level screen, it appears the proposed land exchange is feasible and complies with applicable Land and Resource Management Plan standards and guidelines, provides public benefits, did not identify major title encumbrances on non-federal lands and identified potential support and opposition in compliance with Forest Service Handbook requirements.

There are multiple public benefits anticipated from the proposed exchange, including but not limited to an increase in public access, consolidate ownership and improvement of Forest Service management by eliminating a total of 64 existing property corners and approximately 18.2 miles of landlines.

To ensure consideration in the preparation of the environmental document, comments must be received by May 8 and must include information relating to name, address, telephone number and organization represented, name of the project for the comment being submitted (Britania) and specific issues and

WILDLIFE continued from page 1 long time, and it has been devastating for wildlife across the state, especially those in the southwest region.”

Nesvik noted WGFD has had an eye on the statewide situation since January, with a more recent focus on big game animals across winter range from as far north as Jackson and as far east as Baggs, where winter weather conditions have persisted longer than usual and have been the most damaging.

In fact, he further noted the 30 year average of the number of days below zero in Pinedale is 39, with this year reporting a whopping 62. On top of frigid temperatures, Nesvik explained wildlife have had to battle heavy snow loads, limited forage availability and disease.

“Around Feb. 15, WGFD personnel started seeing some dead antelope, which seemed fairly healthy. But, we discovered there is a Micoplasma bovis pneumonia outbreak in Sublette County, and hundreds of pronghorn are dying,” he explained. “We have now observed and positively tested animals from Pinedale down to Rock Springs, and certainly, like we see with other spe-

In June of 2019, Former Wyoming Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Dr. Rex Rammell was stopped by Sublette County Deputy Sheriff Ty Huffman while transporting four horses and a colt and issued four citations for not having proper brand inspection permits.

Following the incident, Rammell was found guilty in Sublette County Circuit Court and sentenced to fines of over $1,200. He later appealed his conviction, but ultimately lost the case.

In the most recent update, Rammell filed a lawsuit against Huffman and Sublette County Sheriff K.C. Lehr in Federal District Court on March 28, requesting more than $12 million in damages for what he believes was a civil rights violation.

Section 1983 lawsuit

According to an article in the Casper Star Tribune, written by Sofia Saric and published on March 29, Rammell’s case is considered a Section 1983 lawsuit –a legal claim allowing a person to sue an individual, state or local official who has violated their civil rights under the constitution.

Rammell believes this type of lawsuit has a way of “working around the qualified immunity law enforcement is typically granted.”

He also argues the Wyoming statute allowing law enforcement to check for proper brand inspection is unconstitutional in that it is cies, pneumonia is exacerbated when there are difficult winter conditions.”

Currently, Nesvik shared, WGFD has documented a 50 percent adult mortality rate for female pronghorn, a 30 percent adult mortality rate for female mule deer and a 90 percent plus mortality rate for all fawns.

“We have had elk show up in places they typically don’t, and we have even seen a little bit of elk mortality which is unusual since they are such a resilient animal,” he said.

Factors affecting survivability

After Nesvik, Monteith took to the stage to discuss research conducted on factors affecting ungulate survivability through winter months.

He noted work began in 2013 and focused on documenting how tough winters influence animals, what it takes for them to survive and the repercussions after winter is over.

“The Wyoming Range mule deer herd has two wintering segments –one in the Big Piney-La Barge area and the other in the Kemmerer-Cokeville area,” he explained.

“These animals migrate to the Salt River and Wyo- ming Range in some of the most spectacular migrations we are aware of, and it is perhaps the largest mule deer population in the world.”

“With our project, we work to follow individual animals for as long as we can, and recently we have been able to follow them from birth all the way to adulthood,” he continued. “The power of this is we can follow animals that persist through hard winters, like we are experiencing right now, and see what it takes for them to make it out on the other side.”

First, Monteith noted animals exhibiting greater freedom of movement during winter months have a higher probability of survival, but heavy snow loads characterizing hard winters makes this difficult.

The second factor influencing ungulate survivability, according to Monteith, is the quality of browse on winter range.

“Sagebrush makes up over 80 percent of these animals’ diet, so the better the quality and the more leader growth the sagebrush has will lead to a greater probability of survival of animals on winter range,” he said.

Additionally, Monteith explained animal age also has a lot to do with survivability.

Older animals, especially those over 10 years of age have a very low probability of surviving tough winters. Monteith noted survivors are usually those in the prime age of their life.

Lastly, he shared the primary driver affecting survivability is the amount of fat reserves animals have built up before entering winter months. Ideally, they should have at least 12 percent body fat as they move into the winter.

“These are the fat reserves they bring from summer range, and if they don’t have enough, we are likely to lose them through the winter,” he said. “There are some things that dramatically influence their ability to gain fat on summer range, however, including habitat quality, moisture and the number of animals competing for food.”

Emergency feeding operations

In addition to higher mortality rates brought on by tough winter conditions, Gordon, Nesvik and Monteith also mentioned there is an increased risk for intermingling between wildlife and livestock.

In an effort to mitigate the instance of brucellosis transmission, which remains a top priority for the state, WGFD has initiated emergency feeding operations for elk at several locations across the state, including six in Star Valley, which Nesvik notes is the most he has ever seen in the area.

Although these operations are helpful in reducing the risk of cattle and elk disease transmission, the three speakers explained emergency feeding hasn’t been initiated for deer and pronghorn.

“We have looked at the results and outcomes of feeding efforts in other states, and at the end of the day, they just don’t have enough of an effect on the population level to make any difference,” Nesvik stated.

“Feeding is a tough situation, and although it seems like the intuitive thing to do since we just talked about the importance of fat cover, it is actually quite complicated and doesn’t necessarily solve the problem,” Monteith chimed in.

In fact, he noted the digestive system of deer and pronghorn are full of microorganisms to help with digestion, and as winter progresses, especially in current conditions, the microflora adapts to the course diet they feed on.

“Feeding may make us feel good, but it is insidious because we are going to lose a lot of animals at the same time given the digestive upset and acidosis that are consequences of it,” he added. unlawful to stop someone transporting animals without basis.

Although animals can be slowly introduced to hay or fed forage specifically designed to avoid this issue, Nesvik and Monteith reiterated the lack of benefit feeding operations would provide.

Additionally, Monteith cited documentation from the winter of 201617, which shows adenovirus as the leading cause of mortality in fawns. He explained this virus is transmitted through animal-to-animal contact, and contact through increased concentration densities associated with feeding sites is another concern with feeding operations.

After Gordon, Nesvik and Monteith provided these updates, they turned the microphone over to meeting attendees. Tune in to next week’s edition of the Wyoming Livestock Roundup to read about comments and solutions proposed by the public during the meeting.

Compensation for damages

Rammell explains the $12 million he is seeking through the lawsuit is for court costs, lost opportunities, negative impacts to his reputation and severe emotional distress caused by the incident.

“The case consumed over three years of the plaintiff’s life,” reads the complaint. “The plaintiff is a veterinarian and purchased a building to open up a clinic in Pinedale. The notoriety of the case damaged Rammell’s reputation and business.”

An April 3 article in the Wyoming Tribune Eagle, written by Jasmine Hall, explains Rammell discontinued his veterinary services in December of 2020, after struggling to sustain adequate business. He put the building up for sale, which is still yet to be sold.

In the article, Rammell claims the incident also damaged his reputation, resulting in a loss during the race for the state Senate seat in District 14 and another loss when he ran for governor in 2022.

“Rammell’s reputation has been damaged, causing him a significant amount of emotional distress,” reads the complaint. “His economic opportunity in Sublette County as a veterinarian has been completely removed. Investment and time lost due to the damage this case has done to him is substantial.”

Therefore, Rammell notes he ultimately hopes to be compensated for the economic damages, loss of reputation and emotional stress he has suffered due to the negative publicity surrounding “his fight against the violation of his Fourth Amendment rights.”
