Rules for non-resident in Wyoming
« on: September 01, 2003, 03:16:28 AM »
What does the state of Wyoming require that you bring in order to pick up your license for hunting.  How much orange (if any) is a hunter required to wear?  Any info would be appreciated.

:D Try this site http://gf.state.wy.us/ . The state of Wyoming fish and game website should tell you. In general an orange hat is enough. A drivers license is usually enough ID. Most people have their license before they leave home. Don't forget to get your stamp. I see more wardens in Wyoming than anyplace else I"ve been so be sure you're legal.

A hat, vest, coat or pants that are hunter orange are legal. I have even seen wantabe cowboys wearing their ten gallon stetsons with a strip of orange around the band.

What are you planning to hunt? Don't know what you can buy over the counter except Antelope doe/fawn licenses and Deer for just a few areas.

And like Freddogs said make sure you have all your paperwork in order, I was checked 5 times last year and 6 the year before. Mostly for biological studies, but they would still write you up.

Thanks guys.   :oops: I gotta pay better attention.  I have my license . . . it was mailed to me.  I just wondered if all they required then was a valid drivers license when you get out there.

Just make sure you have a valid ID along with your liscence. As for orange, an orange hat is enough but I'd reccomend a vest too. Never been shot but have had a few bullets zing by awful close. Lots of folks on public ground in huntin season around here and most of 'em sound shoot.

That can vary widely. Better places cost more. If you plan to just come out and ask just before the season, good luck.
