The bill amends existing law regarding the use of landowner coupons for hunting antelope, deer, and elk on private property in Wyoming. It requires hunters to deliver the landowner's coupon to the property owner either upon harvesting an animal or at the conclusion of a hunt where no animal was harvested, provided that the majority of the hunting occurred on the landowner's property. The landowner must then submit the coupon along with an affidavit to the department by March 1 following the hunting season to receive payment of $16 for each coupon.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that landowner coupons are non-transferable and establishes penalties for unauthorized attempts to collect payment for these coupons. It also includes a provision for a checkoff box on the coupon affidavit claim form, allowing landowners to designate their payment to the animal damage management board. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
