The Game and Fish Department is holding a public meeting and has opened a comment period through Dec. 29 on proposed regulations governing access to public records and licenses and permits.
Game and Fish is proposing that parties requesting hunter license lists will only be charged for the labor to compile and mail the list, instead of the current complicated reimbursement formula. The simplified proposal is predicted to lower costs for list requests. All references to hard copy lists (license books) will also be deleted from the regulation since all licenses are now produced electronically.
Game and Fish is also proposing to expand those eligible to qualify for a landowner license to include siblings of the landowner. Other significant license regulation proposals include: simplifying resident elk license quotas to be the number of licenses approved by the Commission in April minus the number issued to nonresidents in February, prohibiting Governor’s, Commissioner’s and Super Tag license holders from hunting in Grand Teton National Park and changing the alter/withdrawal date of big game license applications to the last day of the application period.
All interested parties are encouraged to attend the public meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 13 at the Laramie Game and Fish office, 528 S. Adams St.
Written comments will also be accepted through 5 p.m. Dec. 29 by mailing: Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Regulations, 3030 Energy Lane, Casper, WY 82604 or through the Game and Fish website. Copies of the proposed regulations are available at the same address or on the Game and Fish website at http://wgfd.wyo.gov. All signed comments will be presented to the Game and Fish Commission before they address the proposals at their Jan. 22-23 meeting in Cheyenne.
