大提顿国家公园11月14日至12月6日实施年度麋鹿削减计划：仅开放75区、授权40张许可证
美国国家公园管理局11月6日宣布，大提顿国家公园将于11月14日至12月6日实施年度麋鹿削减计划。管理局与怀俄明州渔猎局在审阅生物数据后认定，该计划对把麋鹿种群维持在目标规模、实现预期的麋鹿分布是必要的。
该计划依据公园1950年设立法授权，由国家公园管理局与怀俄明州渔猎局共同管理，由持有怀俄明州执照、持有限额许可证的猎人在指定区域猎取麋鹿。
管理局称，2026年该计划共授权40张许可证，今年仅开放75区。75区内的羚羊平原（Antelope Flats）一带，以及死人酒吧（Deadman's Bar）与迪奇溪（Ditch Creek）之间的蛇河河底地，全季关闭。
参与者须随身携带州麋鹿75区狩猎执照、保育印花、麋鹿特别管理许可证、2026年公园麋鹿削减计划许可证与猎人教育卡，不分年龄。猎取对象限母麋与幼麋。其他要求包括使用无铅弹药、穿荧光橙或荧光粉衣物、随身携带未过期且不少于7.9盎司的防熊喷雾。弓具、手枪、非中央底火步枪与人工麋鹿召唤器禁用。
为支持慢性消耗病监测，参与者须将在公园内猎获的每头麋鹿的头部送至穆斯（Moose）的指定回收点，公园人员采集淋巴结送怀俄明州渔猎局野生动物健康实验室检测，参与者可在线查询结果。
管理局称，计划期间相关区域仍对游客开放，强烈建议游客穿着鲜艳颜色衣物。国家公园管理局与州渔猎局人员将在计划区域巡逻。
Grand Teton National Park Runs Annual Elk Reduction Program November 14 to December 6: Area 75 Only, 40 Permits Authorized
The National Park Service announced on November 6 that Grand Teton National Park will conduct its annual elk reduction program from November 14 through December 6. After reviewing available biological data, the Park Service and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department determined the program is necessary to maintain the herd at its population objective and achieve desired elk distribution.
Authorized under the park's 1950 enabling legislation, the program is jointly managed by the Park Service and the Wyoming department, and uses Wyoming-licensed hunters with limited-quota permits to harvest elk in designated areas.
The Park Service says a total of 40 permits are authorized for 2026, and only Area 75 is open this year. Within Area 75, the Antelope Flats portion and the Snake River bottom between Deadman's Bar and Ditch Creek are closed throughout the season.
Participants must carry their state license for Elk Hunt Area 75, a conservation stamp, an elk special management permit, the 2026 park elk reduction program permit and a hunter education card, regardless of age. Harvest is restricted to cows and calves. Other requirements include non-lead ammunition, fluorescent orange or pink clothing, and immediately accessible bear spray in a non-expired can of at least 7.9 ounces. Archery equipment, handguns, non-centerfire rifles and artificial elk calls are prohibited.
To support chronic wasting disease surveillance, participants must turn in the head of every elk harvested in the park at the designated drop-off location in Moose. Park personnel collect lymph nodes for testing at the Wyoming Game and Fish Wildlife Health Lab, and participants can check results online.
Areas remain open to park visitors during the program, and visitors are strongly encouraged to wear bright colors. Park Service and state personnel patrol the program area.
