Tell us your opinions about Wyoming's hunting seasons

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department welcomes the public to the ongoing 2025 hunting season-setting meetings across the state. Attending these events is one way to learn about local wildlife populations, ask questions and visit with local Game and Fish biologists and wardens.

Copies of the proposed regulations are available on the Game and Fish public meeting webpage. In addition, Biologists' presentations containing information on season proposals for each district can be found on our website and YouTube channel.

Interested hunters can review the proposed written regulations and presentations before submitting public comments through 5 p.m. on April 2, 2025. Comments can be made on the public meeting webpage, in person at meetings or by mailing comments to any Game and Fish regional office.

Raffle tickets for a Wyoming Game and Fish Department Commissioner’s license are still available for purchase while supplies last. Proceeds from the raffle will go directly to the Wyoming Hunger Initiative's Food from the Field program led by First Lady Jennie Gordon. This program is a partnership between Game and Fish and the Wyoming Department of Agriculture that addresses food insecurity in Wyoming by allowing hunters to donate deer and elk meat to food pantries across Wyoming.

With passage of HB211, Game and Fish encourages safe hunting practices

Understanding the Draw

As application deadlines approach, hunters will soon be required to enter the draw for big game licenses. Before applying, and while applications can still be modified, revisit the Wyoming Wildlife magazine piece from last year: Understanding the Draw. This article can help you navigate the application process, maximize your chance of drawing and the difference between the initial and leftover draws.

Support conservation

You can support conservation in Wyoming all year by purchasing a Super Tag raffle ticket. Projects like capturing and collaring mule deer is just one of the many efforts funded by Super Tag sales to help big game. Tickets for the 2026 prize are on sale now through January.
