Nonresidents would show reciprocal access for Wyoming trapping licenses

Wyoming would require nonresident applicants to meet reciprocity requirements and provide supporting documents. These requirements apply to nonresidents applying for a Wyoming license to trap furbearing animals. The applicant’s state must allow the species to be trapped and issue nonresident licenses that let Wyoming residents trap the same species. Applicants would provide a notarized statement of their legal address and state of residence, plus current state rules showing the reciprocal licensing policy. These licensing provisions would take effect July 1, 2026, if the bill becomes law.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department would make rules to carry out the proposed law. The direction applies to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. This section would take effect when the bill completes the steps required to become law.
