The holiday season is right around the corner, and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department has the answer to the age-old question of what to give to friends and family. These six gifts are perfect for the person who likes to hunt, fish or enjoy wildlife.
Wyoming Wildlife Conservation License Plate: The Wildlife Conservation License Plate is a specialty plate for Wyoming drivers. New this year, the 2025 plate features the fastest land mammal in North America — the pronghorn. The initial price of the plate is $180, with $150 going to the Wildlife Conservation Fund, and a $50 renewal fee each year in addition to registration fees. The plate is available anytime — not just with renewals.
Funds generated from the plate help fund overpasses, underpasses, fencing and signage to prevent vehicle-animal collisions along wildlife migration corridors.
Resident lifetime licenses or conservation stamps: A lifetime license or stamp guarantees one will log many hours enjoying the great Wyoming outdoors while supporting conservation. These are available for residents who have lived in Wyoming for at least 10 years. A resident lifetime small game/bird license is $311. The resident lifetime fishing license also is $311. If you’re looking for a bargain get them both, plus a lifetime conservation stamp, for $681.50.
For those who have lived in Wyoming for less than 10 years, a lifetime conservation stamp is an option for $185.50. For more information and the application for purchase visit the Game and Fish website.
A Wyoming Wildlife 2025 calendar: The most anticipated special issue of the year, the Wyoming Wildlife magazine calendar is now on sale. It’s more than just a way to keep track of dates — it’s a celebration of Wyoming’s wildlife. The calendar features an array of photos captured in the Cowboy State by talented photographers from across the nation and submitted to the calendar photo contest.
