WyomingGame and Fish wildlife biologists and wardens are putting together hunting season proposals for this fall. In the next couple of weeks, the department will have a series of open houses, followed by a formal season setting meeting. 

Game and Fish public information specialists work to ensure that the public is aware of these meetings because it is the primary opportunity for the biologists and wardens to sit with hunters and the general public to discuss a wide variety of subjects such as proposed license allocations, season length changes and other proposals for the coming fall. 

Game and Fish Public Information Specialist for the Sheridan Regional Office, Christina Scmidt, said the information personnel has been gathering all year is presented to the public during these meetings.

Attendees at the meetings can pick up printed copies of the proposals and can provide written comments at the meeting.

If someone cannot attend in person, presentations will be posted online that week from each district biologist, who will go over the proposals for their specific work area. That individual could then print out a comment form and mail it in or submit comments online.
