Wyoming Governor Matt Mead, the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission & Department, and the North American Moose Foundation (via the Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition) are pleased to provide the Wild Sheep Foundation with a 2017 Shiras moose license for auction. The 2017 Wyoming Governor’s Moose License is only valid in open hunt areas with more than 10 Type 1 any- or antlered- moose licenses issued. For 2016 this license was valid in 11 hunt areas: 5, 10, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 38/41. These hunt areas account for over 70% of Wyoming’s annual Shiras moose harvest. The number of licenses issued per hunt area MAY change from year to year. Seasons and license numbers for fall 2017 will be finalized in April of 2017. For further information, please contact Tim Thomas, Wyoming Game and Fish Department @ 307-672-7418 or Rob Anderson, North American Moose Foundation @ 307-654-9172.
Successful purchaser may hunt any open hunt area that qualifies in accordance with the above. The purchaser does not have to pick a specific hunt area and may hunt different hunt areas. The five-year waiting period between moose licenses does not affect the ability to purchase a Governor’s moose license, and purchasing this license is independent of applying for a moose license through the draw system. The license fee ($117 for Resident, $1,416 for Non-Resident) is waived. Preference points are not affected by purchase of a Wyoming Governor’s Moose License. 90% of the auction proceeds provide funding for Wyoming moose projects via the Wyoming Governor’s Big Game License Coalition.
