Abstract
This publication describes the relationships among private lands, public lands, and seasonal range as well as the economic importance of private lands in providing seasonal habitat for six major big game species in Wyoming: pronghorn, elk, moose, bighorn sheep, mule deer, and white-tailed deer. This analysis was conducted to assess some of the potential consequences of habitat loss on private lands due to rural land development.
