  • Drivers need to be cautious

    Aug 3, 2023

    Who hasn't been driving down the road and looked up to see that the vehicle in front of them is either hauling logs or equipment or rocks, gravel? More than not, everything stays where it should be, but there are some instances, especially with gravel, where rocks will come flying out of the back of a vehicle in front of you or even a vehicle that is passing you. For Mason Neiman and his family who were on vacation and headed to their parents' home in Hulett, that's exactly what happened. The fa...

    Madelyn Beck, WyoFile.com|Aug 3, 2023

    Mountain lion cubs. Snow geese. Foxes. Great horned owls. Bald eagles. Chickens. These animals were all Wyoming casualties of the latest strain of the bird flu that swept across the country the last two years. In neighboring states, there were even reports of grizzly and black bears being euthanized after contracting the virus. The most recent outbreak killed at least hundreds of birds in Wyoming, but health officials say the true number is likely higher because most bird flu stats in the U.S. rely on voluntary public reporting.
