Is it legal to “quick quarter” or “gutless” field dress a big game animal?

Submitted by admin on

Yes it is legal in Wyoming to “gutless” field dress a big game animal. There are a few restrictions that need to be followed. When “gutless” field dressing a big game animal, you are required to bring out of the field all four quarters, whether shot or not, back straps and inside tender loins. When “gutless” field dressing a big game animal, cut slits along the back and reach in to remove the inside tender loins. It is not considered waste if you leave organs in the field (i.e. heart, liver).

Submitted by admin on

Yes it does. Camouflage orange has various shades of fluorescent orange and other colors in a broken pattern. Wyoming law requires the wearing of one fluorescent orange garment during the firearm’s season to include a hat, shirt, jacket, coat or sweater of a fluorescent orange color. Any one of these items in solid orange or a camo orange pattern would fulfill the requirement.
