WG&F reminds hunters to stop at check stations

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department staffs check stations throughout the region during hunting season, allowing personnel to record data. These stations are not only a good way to contribute to Game and Fish information gathering, it’s also the law. 

Game and Fish is operating game check stations throughout the fall and hunters are reminded that they must stop at every station they encounter.

While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse, Game and Fish Sheridan Region Public Information Specialist Christina Schmidt reminded hunters to stop at the stations every time they see one open and operating.

Hunters are vital to the Wyoming Game and Fish. The department utilizes the many eyes and ears in the field this time of year to gather as much information on big game as possible. Schmidt said if a hunter has not harvested or even seen an animal in their hunt area, that is information the department would like to know.

The information gathered at these check stations plays a vital part in the decision making process for big game management.
