Trophy game, big game and wild bison license allocations.
HB 43 modifies Wyoming's hunting license system for grizzly bears, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, wild bison, and moose. It creates a competitive raffle system for issuing licenses (limiting applicants to two licenses per species), removes lifetime restrictions for licenses obtained through this raffle, and adjusts preference point calculations for other license types. The bill directly affects hunters seeking these specific licenses by changing how they can obtain them - through raffles or modified point-based systems - while maintaining existing quotas. It also requires the wildlife commission to establish rules for the new raffle process and effective dates.
