Wyoming Game and Fish announce game bird changes

Upland game bird hunters in the Sheridan Region will see several changes for the 2024 season.

The Department announced that the chukar and gray partridge seasons were shortened by approximately one month and will run Sept. 15, through Jan. 31.

Turkey hunters are alerted that beginning with the fall 2024 turkey season, there are no longer multiple turkey hunt areas, but one hunt area encompassing the entire state. The entire state has a general season of Oct. 1 through Dec. 31. 

In addition to a general license, hunters may purchase up to two limited quota Type 3 licenses on a first-come, first-served basis. They can be purchased at Wyoming Game and Fish regional offices, at local license selling agents or online through the Game and Fish website (license will be mailed from Cheyenne headquarters).
