Roadkill collection now
legal in Wyoming
CHEYENNE - People can now legally
pick up and possess road-killed wildlife in
Wyoming, but there are some key guidelines
to follow.
The 2021 Wyoming Legislature passed
HEA No. 58, which directed the Wyoming
Game and Fish Commission to develop rules
and establish a program for a person to legally
collect deer, elk, antelope, moose, wild bison
or wild turkey from unintentional vehicle
collisions with wildlife. The Wyoming Game
and Fish Department underwent a public
process of drafting regulations, which the
Commission approved in November 2021.
Gov. Mark Gordon made the law official
when he signed the bill in January.
Game and Fish has a link on its website
with information about this law and an
authorization request procedure. Individuals
must have this authorization to possess roadkilled
wildlife.
To request permission to collect roadkill,
Game and Fish worked with the Wyoming
Department of Transportation to add a
roadkill collection request form to WYDOT's
Wyoming 511 app.
Some other things to be aware of with
this new law:
* Game and Fish authorization to possess
roadkill is not valid for any wildlife
found to be illegally taken.
* This regulation does not authorize an
individual to euthanize wildlife injured
due to an unintentional vehicle collision
on a public road or highway.
