Landowner hunting licenses-limitation.
This bill allows Wyoming's Game and Fish Commission to limit the number of hunting licenses issued to landowners in specific "limited quota hunt areas," ensuring at least 40% of licenses in those areas remain available for landowners. The remaining licenses (over 60%) would revert to the public for purchase, preserving public hunting opportunities. Landowners hunting on their own property would pay the same fees as standard licenses for the species they hunt. The bill directly affects Wyoming landowners seeking hunting access on their land and the public purchasing licenses in designated areas. It takes effect July 1, 2026.
