Wyoming Game and Fish: Utilize Online, Phone Services

Release/Palmer

In response to federal and state guidelines for the COVID-19 pandemic to minimize contact between people, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department is encouraging people to stay home and utilize online services, and reserve visits to local Game and Fish facilities to necessary business.

In a release from the Game and Fish Department, many licenses and stamps are available for purchase. Licenses without a carcass coupon are eligible for digital proof in the field, like on a phone or tablet.

Hunting applications are open on the Game and Fish website as well.

Those that need help purchasing or applying for licenses online, finding information on the website or general questions can call the Game and Fish telephone information center.

We have provided that number below.

If someone must come to the regional office for business, the public is asked to call their regional office first. Game and Fish is asking that if you are feeling unwell or have been exposed to COVID-19 to please stay home.

Game and Fish director Brian Nesvik said in the release, “The Wyoming Game and Fish Department plans to go out of our way to help you over the phone to save you a trip to our office. Our goal is to help you in a way that minimizes contact while still providing you good Game and Fish customer service.

Calling also ensures personnel are available to serve your needs, such as a harvest check or an AIS inspection. We continue to be open to provide service at our offices, but we encourage folks to pursue phone or online methods when those options will meet their needs.”

Director Nesvik reminds people that Game Wardens stand ready to continue to protect Wyoming’s wildlife and respond to wildlife or watercraft related emergencies. Stop poaching tips can still be submitted over the phone, online or through text. For wildlife emergencies, people can call their local game warden or Wyoming Game and Fish Dispatch at 1-877-943-3847.
