Bison hunting applications deadline March 31

Hunters, the Wyoming Game and Fish suggest checking your calendars — several important Wyoming hunting application dates are approaching. 

The last chance to submit applications to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department for wild bison licenses is March 31, at midnight.

May 31, is the deadline for resident elk and resident and nonresident deer and antelope. Detailed information on seasons, maps and regulations are available on the Game and Fish website.

Beginning at 8 a.m. April 1, the Game and Fish will accept applications for limited quota fall turkey, sandhill crane and beaver, as well as applications to the Glendo and Springer special pheasant hunts. All applications must be submitted online.

“Remember, before applying for any licenses, you will have to have a username and password,” Game and Fish License Accounting Coordinator Amanda Roberts said. “Each person needs their own account to apply, including youth.”

Creating a username and password is a simple process much like on other websites. To help, Game and Fish has step-by-step videos and written instructions.
