Archery hunting began in some local areas August 15. Many more hunting seasons will open up September 1, 2012. In an effort to help hunters avoid any problems from not knowing the laws, here are the top ten violations that many hunters get stuck with;
Tagging Violations...These violations range from forgetting to sign your license in the excitement of having just bagged a big game animal to a "slick license" where the hunter intentionally omits all the tagging procedure with the hope of using the license again.
Shooting From a Public Road...It is illegal to shoot from or across a public road when hunting or target shooting. Two-track roads on public lands are not public roads;
Failure to Retain Evidence of Gender on Big Game Animal
Hunting in Wrong Area...For example: A general license is only valid in general license areas and cannot be legally used in limited quota areas.
Hunting Without Hunter Education Certification...Wyoming law requires all hunters born on or after January 1, 1966 to have passed a certified hunter education course.
Trespassing
Wanton Destruction...Shooting an animal and leaving it to waste.
Failure to Wear Fluorescent Orange
Failure to Purchase Conservation Stamp...In addition to the license, all hunters, except Pioneer License holders who are exercising hunting or fishing privileges under a pioneer license, must purchase a $12.50 Conservation Stamp. If the pioneer is hunting on a non-pioneer license, a conservation stamp is required.
Tagging Violations...These violations range from forgetting to sign your license in the excitement of having just bagged a big game animal to a "slick license" where the hunter intentionally omits all the tagging procedure with the hope of using the license again.
