Wyoming Wildlife Taskforce Gets To Work

The Wyoming Wildlife Taskforce is ready to get to work with eighteen newly appointed members, including landowners, sportsmen and women, conservationists, legislators and government leaders from across the state. Their charge is to present recommendations that will be used to support policy decisions on Wyoming’s wildlife resources.
Wyoming Game and Fish Commissioner Pete Dube is chairing the effort and promises that the task force’s work will be transparent and open to the public.
Dube said, “It’s not a closed-door process. The public is welcomed to attend, if it’s through Zoom, to provide comments. Just because you’re not on the task force doesn’t mean you don’t have any input.”
One main focus will be determining how hunting licenses for big game will be distributed, and what fee adjustments might be needed.
Dube says he expects robust discussion over how many licenses are granted to out-of-state residents drawn for Wyoming’s hunting fields.
Due to COVID-19 safety concerns, Dube says the task force will spend the first several months digging deeper into the complex issues so that when meetings begin in-person in early summer, all members will be fully up to speed.
