Wildfire Impacts in Wyoming
Impacts to hunters
- If you had planned a hunt through an outfitter, please contact them to find out the current situation of your hunt.
- If you have arranged to hunt private lands, you are encouraged to contact the landowner directly. However, please be mindful that there are active fires in some areas that have not yet been contained, so exercise patience and discretion when reaching out to private landowners.
- If you plan to hunt public land, you are encouraged to contact local Game and Fish personnel to inquire about hunting opportunities.
