Shed antlers and horns conservation stamp.
Wyoming's HB 276 states that all shed antlers and horns found on public land belong to the state, not individuals. It requires anyone collecting these items on public land (specifically west of I-90 from the Montana border to Buffalo and west of I-25 from Buffalo to Colorado) to obtain a permit. Residents may collect without charge, while nonresidents must pay a $20 fee. The Game and Fish Commission will create rules to implement the permit system, effective immediately upon enactment. This law directly affects hunters, collectors, and outdoor enthusiasts who gather shed antlers on public lands.
