Game and Fish to hold season setting question and answer sessions online

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is holding season setting question and answer sessions online to review 2021 hunting season proposals. No in-person meetings will be held. 

Recorded presentations of regional season proposals will be available online beginning March 24. The public will then have an opportunity to join regional question and answer sessions with wildlife biologists and game wardens to discuss the proposals. Anyone planning to attend a regional question and answer session should review the proposals prior to attending. 

While appearing on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse, Game and Fish Public Information Specialist Christina Schmidt told listeners a little about the proposal presentations. 

Registration for these sessions is open now. Each meeting has a unique link. Separate enrollment is required if attending multiple meetings. 

The meeting concerning the Sheridan Region will be held March 30. To register for the meeting click here.
