Wyoming Wolf

The wolf hunting seasons inside the Trophy Game Management Area will run September 15–December 31 for all areas except 12 and 13. Unit 12 will run October 15–December 31, and unit 13 will run September 15–March 31. Wolves will continue to be treated as predators in the Predatory Animal Management Area where there is no season and no license needed to harvest. There are 14 wolf units inside the management area with set quotas for each one. Once the individual unit quotas are met, the season will close in that specific unit.

Wyoming Game and Fish’s most recent count shows a minimum of 314 wolves in 40 packs living in Wyoming. Hunters may harvest one permit per calendar year January–December. A hunter may purchase up to two gray wolf licenses per any one calendar year. Wyoming’s wolf tags are expensive, but if you are planning on hunting Northwest Wyoming, it may be worth buying one if the quota is still open in the areas you plan on hunting. Unfortunately for non-resident hunters, there is a lot of wilderness in the northwest portion of the state. A non-resident cannot legally hunt in the wilderness unless they have an outfitter or are accompanied by a Wyoming resident.
