Landowner Coupons due Feb. 1
by Wyoming Game & Fish
January 4, 2008
Wyoming ranchers and farmers are reminded Feb. 1 is the deadline to send in landowner coupons from the past hunting season. The coupons and corresponding affidavit must be submitted to the local game warden or Game and Fish office by that date.
Wyoming landowners receive $13 for each elk, deer or antelope harvested on their land. The coupons are included on each license. The landowner coupon program was established by the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission in 1934 to at least partially compensate landowners for forage consumed by big game on their property. The coupon program was passed into law by the state legislature in 1939.
Last year the G&F paid $607,867 to 2,399 Wyoming ranchers and landowners, an increase of $47,463 over the previous year.
