W.S. § 23-2-107 empowers the Commission to promulgate reasonable rules and regulations regulating wild bison licenses and the management of wild bison. The Commission proposes to amend Wyoming Game and Fish Commission Regulations listed below to establish annual hunting seasons, limitations and bag limits. The 2012 big game harvest information is not available at the time these draft regulations are filed and made available for public comment. Any additional proposed changes to season dates, numbers and types of licenses and hunt area boundaries will be made available to the public for comment during all public meetings held around the state.

The Department is currently evaluating the number of doe/fawn licenses a person may apply for and receive for certain Hunt Areas. The 2012 harvest data is not available in time to identify exact changes for the draft 2013 deer and antelope hunting season regulations. Chapter 5, Section 3. Antelope Hunt Area 12 is being combined into a revised Hunt Area 11 boundary description and antelope Hunt Area 116 is being combined into a revised Hunt Area 79 boundary description. Chapter 6, Section 3. Antler point restrictions are being proposed for Deer Hunt Areas 61, 66, 70, 74, 75, 76 and 77. Other Deer Hunt Areas may be considered for antler point restrictions once applicable data is available. Deer Hunt Areas 78, 79, 80, 81, 83 and 161 are proposed to change from General License to Limited Quota hunting status. Deer Hunt Areas 44 and 45 are being combined into a revised Hunt Area 41 boundary description and Hunt Area 49 is being combined into a revised Hunt Area 47 boundary description. Non-resident deer license quotas are subject to change based upon the 2012 deer harvest survey. Chapter 7, Section 3. Several Elk Hunt Areas will incorporate a “spikes excluded” limitation during portions of their hunting seasons. Elk Hunt Area 116 is changing from Limited Quota to General License hunting status. Elk Hunt Area 55 is changing from General License to Limited Quota hunting status. Elk Hunt Area 42 is being combined into a revised Hunt Area 41 boundary description. Chapter 8, Section 3. Moose Hunt Area 44 is proposed to be closed during the 2013 hunting season. Moose Hunt Area 43 is being combined into a revised Moose Hunt Area 42 boundary description. Chapter 9, Section 3. Bighorn Sheep Hunt Areas 18, 21 and 24 will be closed for the 2013 hunting season. Bighorn Sheep Hunt Area 17 (Ferris-Seminoe) is being added for 2013. Chapter 39, Section 4. Harvest Information Program (HIP) permits shall only be available on the Department’s website. These permits had previously been available in printed format. Based on the Pacific Flyway harvest allocation for the Rocky Mountain Population of Sandhill Cranes, the available number of crane permits is reduced from 270 in 2012 to 180 in 2013. Chapter 48, Section 4. The proposed language will allow Light Goose Conservation Order Special Management Permits to be purchased on the Department’s website. Persons who obtain a Light Goose Conservation Order Special Management Permit may complete the mandatory harvest survey online except when the person does not have Internet access. For 2013, a paper survey will be mailed to persons who do not have Internet access. Hunt Areas and boundary descriptions may be modified, realigned or updated for clarity or management purposes. The realignment of some hunt area boundary lines may move a portion of a Hunt Area from limited quota to general license hunting, or general license to limited quota license hunting. Minor grammatical and formatting edits have also been incorporated in the above regulations that do not change the intent of these regulations.

Any additional proposed changes to regular hunting season dates, special archery hunting season dates, hunt area limitations, numbers of limited quota licenses, license types, hunt area boundaries or modifications to other hunting provisions shall be made available for public comment on the Department website. An updated draft of 2021antelope hunting season proposals will also be posted to the Department website during the later portion of the public comment period.
