Sage-grouse hunters in Wyoming are encouraged to use wing barrels to help the Wyoming Game and Fish Department have a more complete picture of harvest within the state. Game and Fish asks hunters to deposit one wing from each harvested sage-grouse in roadside collection barrels.

Make sure you have your conservation stamp before hunting

Hunters getting ready for their Wyoming hunts must have a conservation stamp before heading afield this fall. Licensed hunters must possess a conservation stamp valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
