In the state of Wyoming it is Illegal for a Non Reisdent to HUNT BIG GAME in a desinated Wilderness area with out a guide. The guide can be either a Resident or an outfitter. As a Non Resident you are allowed to hike, fish and hunt Small game but not BIG GAME.
What a bunch of BS I still do not understand how this law is still in tact regulating non resident hunting on Public lands in Wyoming taht are desinated a wilderness area. A couple of years ago a hunter from Florida sued and took his case all the way to the High courts only to lose and be told that Wyoming's law was not keeping him from hunting only restricting on where he could hunt.
What is your opinion on this statute in Wyoming?
Do you think it will ever change?
From the Wyoming Game and Fish Web site.
Wyoming statute says nonresidents must have a licensed guide or resident companion to hunt big or trophy game in national forest wilderness areas. The resident companion will need to get a free non-commercial guide license from a Game and Fish office. The law does not prohibit nonresidents from hiking, fishing or hunting game birds or coyotes in wilderness areas. Only nonresident big and trophy game hunters must have a licensed guide or resident companion.
