Today, Tuesday, July 14, and Wednesday, July 15, the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission is holding its next crucial public meeting on several issues important to sportsmen, including gray wolf hunting season, revisions of State Wildlife Action Plan, state hatchery projects, and more.
Anti-hunting groups and animal extremists are constantly monitoring these regulatory sessions to chip away at scientific wildlife management and public land access. When sportsmen and women stay home, our sporting heritage loses ground.
The Commission will discuss, take public testimony, and cast final votes on crucial regulation chapters that directly dictate how you can hunt, fish, and trap in Wyoming:
- Chapter 47 (Gray Wolf Hunting Seasons): Finalizing upcoming wolf harvest quotas and season structures.
- Chapter 35 (Disabled Hunter Permits): Revisions to hunting permit regulations for individuals with disabilities. This includes heavily debated restrictions on early hunting access eligibility that have recently drawn intense local scrutiny.
- Chapter 44 (License and Permit Issuance): Rules governing the issuance of licenses, preference points, stamps, tags, and competitive raffle chances.
- Chapter 62 (Aquatic Invasive Species): Regulatory adjustments addressing watercraft inspections and invasive species prevention protocols.
- Chapter 51 & 54: Revisions targeting private fish hatcheries and home state license suspension procedures under the Wildlife Violator Compact.

The Critical Need for Vigilance
Anti-hunting groups are constantly searching for backdoors to lock us out of public lands, outlaw essential conservation tools, and choke our heritage with red tape. By showing up, whether in the meeting room or on the virtual livestream, you send a clear message to the commission: Wyoming’s sporting community demands science-based management, transparency, and respect for our time-honored traditions.
History proves that when outdoor enthusiasts drop their guard, radical animal-rights groups capitalize on the silence. We cannot sit back and let a loud, highly organized minority rewrite the rules of our outdoor heritage.
Defending the Future of Our Wildlife
As sportsmen, we are the true frontline guardians of a lifestyle that is increasingly coming under political fire. While we are actively funding conservation and managing the land, anti-sportsmen groups are busy filling public hearings to erase our way of life. The threats we face today are unprecedented. It is time for our community to stand together, match their energy, and fiercely protect our right to hunt, fish, and trap. This is how we ensure the legacy we inherited is preserved for our kids, grandkids, and generations to come.
Please forward this alert to your family, friends, and fellow hunters. Urge them to stand with you and the Sportsmen’s Alliance to defend our outdoor freedom in the Equality State.
