CHEYENNE, Wyo. — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department announced the opening of several hunting license applications opening on April 1.

Beginning at 8 a.m. April 1, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department will begin accepting applications for limited quota fall turkey, sandhill crane, and beaver as well as applications to the Glendo and Springer special pheasant hunts. Applications must be submitted online.

Wyoming Game and Fish also recently announced new opening dates for Wyoming’s spring turkey season. Four of the state’s five hunt areas will open on April 20.

Amanda Roberts, Game and Fish license accounting coordinator reminds hunters that applications must be submitted online, “each person needs their own account to apply, including youth.”

The deadline to submit applications is June 1. That is also the deadline for resident elk and resident and non-resident deer and antelope. Detailed information on seasons, maps, and regulations are available on the Game and Fish website.
