The Wyoming Game and Fish Department wants to remind the public that recovering road-killed wildlife requires authorization.
People need approval from Game and Fish prior to collection through the Wyoming 511 app. Authorization for the collection can be done through the app, even without cellular service. Department Public Information Specialist Christina Schmidt said the app is easy to download on your phone.

The public can request authorization to salvage deer, elk, pronghorn, moose, wild bison and wild turkey from unintentional vehicle collisions. There are rules to follow and the app itself is required to receive authorization.

A person who is authorized to collect roadkill must abide by the safety guidelines outlined within the regulation:
Game and Fish state, to request authorization through the Wyoming 511 app, look for the “Report Roadkill” button on the homescreen. If the species is available for collection in an approved location, the user can request authorization. The app immediately sends a certificate upon completing the questionnaire. Requestors must have or create a username and password with the Game and Fish to gain authorization.
Full collection guidelines and the regulation is available on the Game and Fish website.
