The Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s public comment period on 2016 hunting season setting regulations is now open. Individuals interested in the changes to the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission’s regulations are encouraged to attend statewide public meetings or provide written input. Online commenting is available as well.

The public meeting in Thermopolis is scheduled for Wednesday, March 16 at 6 p.m. in the meeting room at Big Horn Federal. Members of the public can provide comments at the meeting, online at https://wgfd.wyo.gov/Get-Involved/Public-Meetings or by mail.

“Your thoughts on these regulations and the hunting season are deeply welcomed. We at Game and Fish make adjustments to these drafts based on what we hear from you and we try to provide as many ways for the public to get involved as possible,” said Game and Fish Director Scott Talbott.

The deadline for submitting public comment through any medium is 5 p.m. Friday, March 25. All written comments will be presented to the Commission for consideration prior to the April 21-22 meeting in Casper.
