More hunting options for Wyoming hunters

Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming allows hunting eligible wildlife from aircraft, cars, trailers, motor-powered wheeled vehicles, and snow vehicles. Eligible wildlife must not require a license or permit to take. It also must not be protected under W.S. 23-1-101(a)(ix) or (x), or federally listed as threatened or endangered. The separate ban on aircraft helping hunters remains, except for predatory animals. That ban covers spotting wildlife, communicating with hunters, and other help. Aircraft means any device capable of atmospheric flight, including airplanes, helicopters, gliders, airships, and drones. These restrictions do not apply to government agencies, employees, contractors, or designees performing lawful duties. The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission can exempt hunters with disabilities from any of these restrictions.
