Donated big game licenses for disabled and ill hunters
Beginning July 1, 2026, hunters can donate a valid big game, trophy game, or wild bison license to the department. The department reissues it free to eligible people picked and sponsored by a qualifying nonprofit. Eligible people include veterans with disabilities, people who use a wheelchair, people with a life‑threatening illness, and people who are vision‑impaired. The reissued license must match the original species, area, and type. These reissued licenses do not require residency, drawings, or fees and are not limited by some five‑year, lifetime, or wild bison rules. Donated or reissued licenses cannot be sold, traded, auctioned, or offered for money.
Free hunting licenses for youth with life-threatening illness
Beginning July 1, 2026, people age 20 or younger with a life‑threatening illness can get an antelope, deer, elk, or turkey license. A qualifying nonprofit must sponsor the youth and pay the license fee. The youth pays nothing for the license. The commission sets how many of these licenses are issued each year.
Game and Fish must set rules
The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission must write the rules to run these license programs. Rulemaking starts when the law takes effect. The rules will set key details such as how many licenses are issued and how groups qualify.
