4/10/2020 6:04:57 PM
Cheyenne - The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is announcing the emergency process to register new black bear bait sites for 2020. New sites will now be registered through an online application process. These changes to the registration process creates a priority ranking that will be used to allocate open bait sites while minimizing contact between people. “We appreciate the public’s patience as we changed this process to align with CDC recommendations to protect customer and employee health. Our employees will do everything they can to help hunters register bear baits,” said Scott Edberg, deputy chief of the wildlife division. DATES AND DETAILS Game and Fish will begin accepting bear bait registration ranking applications at 8 a.m. MDT on April 15 on the Game and Fish website. Black bear hunters must have already purchased a 2020 black bear license in order to register a bait site. Applications close at 5 p.m. MDT on April 17, and rankings will be posted on the Game and Fish website at 8 a.m. MDT on April 20. Licenses can be purchased anytime online or at a license selling agent. Black bear hunting licenses purchased online will be mailed within 10 days.
