Big Beautiful Bill Explained: What It Means for Hunters & Public Lands 🦌

This week on Fresh Tracks Weekly, we break down what’s in the “Big Beautiful Bill” and how it impacts hunters and public land users—even without the controversial land sale provision. We also look ahead to next week’s launch of Elk Week, where we’ll be rolling out elk-focused content daily.

News Stories Covered:

– Wall Street Journal Opinion Piece: The WSJ Editorial Board criticized the removal of the public land sale from the bill, backing false claims about affordability and land use.

– Wyoming Corner Crossing Case: A new petition has been submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court.

– BLM Wild Horse Roundup Blocked: The 10th Circuit Court halted a planned roundup of 3,600 feral horses in southern Wyoming due to insufficient explanation on ecological balance.

– Backcountry Lake Contamination: A lake in the Wind River Range showed fecal contamination 384x over safe swimming levels.

– Solar Farms and Wildlife Displacement: A new study tracks pronghorn movement around a Wyoming solar facility and reveals how habitat use changes after construction—even beyond the fenced area.
