JACKSON, Wyo. — For the fifth year in a row, Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has donated a wild bison hunting license to be raffled off to raise money for wildlife conservation and the deadline to purchase one is approaching.
The license will be issued through a random raffle open only to Wyoming residents.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased on the Wyoming Game and Fish Department website until June 15. There is a limit of one ticket per person. The raffle winner will receive a 2023 wild bison license but must purchase any additional stamps and applicable licenses. Proceeds from the raffle go to the Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition and will help support efforts to sustain Wyoming’s wildlife.
According to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Wyoming residents must be eligible to hunt big game in the state. Hunters must be at least 14 years of age by the beginning of hunting season and meet hunter education requirements. The wild bison license is non-transferable. Hopeful hunters should review the bison hunt areas on the Game and Fish website.
The winner will be announced June 22.
