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).
Wyoming has no minimum age requirement for rabbit hunting. However, with few exceptions, if the rabbit hunting involves a firearm, completion of a hunter safety course is required.

Yes it does. Camouflage orange has various shades of fluorescent orange and other colors in a broken pattern.
