Legislature to Consider Raising Game and Fish License Fee's

Wyoming lawmakers will face a range of bills concerning hunting and fishing issues when they convene next month, including one that calls for increasing license fees. The Legislature's Joint Travel, Recreation and Wildlife Committee has endorsed a bill to increase most hunting and fishing licenses for both residents and nonresidents. Eric Keszler is spokesman for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. He says the department needs the license fee increases to maintain its current level of operations. He says failing to approve the increases would result in about a 20% cut in the agency's budget. Other proposed bills related to game and fish would allow hunters to kill a cow bison every five years, up from the current law that limits hunters to one bison tag in their lifetime.

Hunters Close In On Wolf Quota

Hunters have killed 41 wolves so far during Wyoming's trophy wolf-hunting season. As of the latest update posted by the state on Wednesday, eleven more wolves can be taken before the season ends on Monday. Hunters have 24 hours to report kills. It's Wyoming's first wolf hunting season since the federal government reintroduced wolves to the Yellowstone ecosystem in the 1990s. Besides the trophy kills, 23 wolves have been killed around Wyoming this year because they were considered predators.
