The Wyoming Legislature recently enacted a new law giving the Wyoming Game and Fish Department the power to regulate the collection of shed antlers and horns in western Wyoming.
According to the new law, its purpose is "To regulate and control the collection of shed antlers and horns of big game animals for the purpose of minimizing the harassment or disturbance of big game populations on public lands west of the Continental Divide any time between January 1 and May 1 of each year."
The law goes into effect July 1, 2009. After that, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department can promulgate regulations regarding antler collection.
