WYOMING — For the fifth year in a row, Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has donated a wild bison license to be raffled off to raise money for wildlife conservation.
The license will be issued through a random raffle open only to Wyoming residents.
“The bison is the symbol of Wyoming and a fitting hunt to raise money for conservation,” said Gordon. “I am happy to once again offer this opportunity to residents who care so deeply for our wildlife.”
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased on the Wyoming Game and Fish Department website. There is a limit of one ticket per person. The raffle winner receives a 2023 wild bison license but must purchase any additional stamps and applicable licenses. Proceeds from the raffle sales go to the Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition to help support efforts to sustain Wyoming’s wildlife.
According to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, bison hunting in the Jackson area is currently limited to portions of the Bridger-Teton National Forest, the National Elk Refuge, small parcels of state-owned land and potentially some private lands with landowner permission.
The wild bison license is non-transferable and hopeful hunters should review the bison hunt areas on the Game and Fish website.
The raffle closes June 15 and the winner will be announced June 22.
