Nope, they sure don't. You have to go online into your account, go to the area where you can buy stamps and permits, click on the Conservation Stamp and pay for it ($12.50) with your credit card just like you did when you applied for your tag(s), and then print it out on your home printer. They do not send any out by mail. It's either do it online like that or wait and buy it at a place that sells licenses once you get out to Wyoming before you go hunting because the law says you have to have it on your person with your license when in the field.

Mntman, one more thing is to make sure you have a copy of your Hunter ED card on you. The Game Wardens of Wy are the best around. They will bend over to help you but they expect you to know their rules and follow them. Call the Warden in the area where you are going and ask him what to be aware of to stay out of trouble and he will give you a short list like this:
Stay on land you have permission to be on. Public or private always know where you are.
Wear hunter orange, a min of a hat. When it gets cold and the hood comes up and covers the back of the hat that will get you a ticket.
Paper work in order, and on you. Tag, Conservation Stamp, and Hunter ED card.
Have fun and if you need some help give me a call.
That is how most of the calls that I have had with them go. They have been great help to me.

You are incorrect in that Wyoming is just like CO in having the requirement that the certificate must be carried when you are in the field. This is from the G&F website:
Hunter Safety Requirements
No person born on or after January 1, 1966, may take any wildlife by the use of firearms on land other than that of his own family, unless the person possesses or can demonstrate they have obtained a certificate of competency and safety in the use and handling of firearms. All Elk Hunt Area 75 and 79 hunters, regardless of age, must possess and exhibit a valid hunter safety certificate. Compliance will be checked in the field.

Sounds like I was incorrect, but I have been checked many times in Wyoming over the years and have never had a Conservation Officer ask to see my hunter education card. Everytime I have been checked in Colorado, I have been required to produce the card. I always carry it in my wallet either way, and have always had pleasant interactions with the officers in both states.
I don't doubt that they have never checked for your certificate and what Jeff stated may be true in the field, but technically the requirement that I C/Pd off the G&F site is to have it on you and all that hunt that area he mentioned have to, regardless of their age. Otherwise I think it would be possible to just write down a fake number on a piece of paper if they don't have the actual state paperwork to produce. Heck, I talk with the GW a few times every year where we hunt and he only checked us the first time we met him many years ago. Now all we do is shoot the bull and he has never asked since then to see any of our licenses or Conservation Stamp. I don't believe I've ever heard of a bad word said about Tom or hardly any of the other Wyoming GWs either just like you mentioned with your interactions with them.

Carry your hunter Ed card with you in the field. The first trip I ever took to WY was for antelope with a buddy. He shot one opening morning and we drove into town to the butcher. They had a game check point on the main road so we stopped, they asked to see our licenses and hunter Ed cards. I almost got a citation because I didn't have it on me. Everywhere else I've hunted never required it be on me. The officer let me go with a warning. So this is everyone's fair warning too!
Anyone have any feedback on unit 97 outside the wilderness? I see there are LO tags for this hunt. I'm a NR so I couldn't hunt the wilderness. It looks to be a decent amount of national forest outside the wilderness. My only other option is CO. I felled to draw a tag anywhere this year

I'm sure some guys forget the Conservation stamp...until it's too late and they get busted so BUY THEM NOW.
And if you're taking a quad, make sure you get a Wyoming annual sticker for it.
I was born way before 1966 so I forgot all about the hunter ed requirement. I have one but I've never had to worry about it in Wyoming. Obviously Colorado is a different story.
Good info guys!

Yep, there is about 1/4 of the unit that is NF that a NR can hunt without a guide and I imagine a guy could get into elk there if he's in good shape physically and knows how to hunt them.

Yea I saw that bit of nstional forest that wasn't wilderness. I guess I was wondering would the elk be there in the early season (sept 20) opening or would they still be up in the higher country of the wilderness

We got checked in 98 last year.
Checked tags, conservation stamp, and feedground permit but no hunters ed cards.
I have mine but I also snapped a picture of it with my phone. That way if I lose it sometime I've got a picture with my name and the card number on it. Little more believable than just handing him a #.
Based on what topgun posted above I'd think a photograph of it would provide evidence of having taken the class.

This is a good read. I didn't know you had to carry the hunter ed card on you. Don't you have to put the number down when applying for the tag?
We'd always pull into Rawlins around 8 am or so and have to browse around at the Army Surplus store til the sporting goods store opened up in order to buy our conservation stamps. Are they still available over the counter? We'll be heading back out there next year after a 3 year break.

Is it Bi-Rite or something like that on the main drag in Rawlins? The store that is??

***Anyone born after 1/1/66 is required to have been through a class and have a card to prove it and the card is supposed to be carried in the field so they can verify it if they want to. No, there is no place to put a number down when applying for a license. It says right in the G&F website that compliance will be done in the field.

***Yes, you can buy them them like that, but IMHO it's easy to just pay for it online and print it out right at home. I just downsize it to a little above credit card size so it's still readable and print it out right at home.

Good info Topgun/Dz and others, thanks!!
We won't have atv so no worries there. I always carry my hunter ed card, dad is ancient (lol) so he never worries about that card anymore, don't even know if he has one
My buddy will need his though need to check with him.
Thanks again!
Just another reminder to read each states booklet cover to cover, twice before you go

I just looked on my CD ROM and the northern part of that NF area is almost 10,000' and the eastern half as you go toward the wilderness area is over 9,000', so I'm guessing it would hold elk all year there. Just a guess though and maybe someone from out there or that hunted it will chime in.

Nope; there is no certain size requirement for the Stamp and there is nothing anywhere that I'm aware of where you would have read something like that. It just has to be legible and that's why I mentioned that I downsize it the way I do so it's more manageable. The way I do it at home is still huge compared to the small stamp they sell at dealers that is the size of a Federal Waterfowl Stamp.

Wow, I can't believe a lot of the misconceptions going on in this post. Does anyone actually look at regulations for the state they are going to hunt?
Topgun, I know you read the regs, but all you have to do is "demonstrate" you have obtained a hunter safety card, except in Teton Park. Granted, it is less hassle if you are just carrying it.
By the way, if you just hunt with archery equipment, no hunter safety card is required.
The conservation stamp is no longer sold at license agents that are computerized. You get something that looks like a license. After that, it prints out on any license you buy for that year. Again, a warden can easily check for the "stamp" if it was purchased online or at dealer.

I missed this post of yours after you made it and just wanted to make a quick comment. The Stamp does have to be in your possession, but as you mentioned, the hunter safety card only has to be in your possession if you are in the Park. However, it would be one big hassle for the GW and person if they are hunting anywhere else and don't have one with them. What are they going to do if stopped and don't have one? I guess they could give the GW a number, but if they had that it would seem like it should have been up to them to demonstrate they have the actual card without the GW having to go through the hassle of trying to contact another state to see if that is a valid number to verify they have a valid card. IMHO it's another spot in the Regs that need to be updated to say that everyone everywhere needs to have the card on their person when in the field, rather than just in the Park. I wonder if anyone has been ticketed because they couldn't demonstrate to the GW right in the field that they were legal and then got it dismissed by going back through their state to produce the actual card to show the G&F at a later date.
