Firearm licenses allow hunters to also archery hunt during a special early season.
There are no special muzzleloader or pistol seasons in Wyoming. Hunters wishing to hunt with muzzleloaders or handguns must do so during the regular firearm season. Black bears and mountain lions are also hunted in most areas of the state. Licenses are valid for all hunt areas, but individual hunt areas close for the season when the harvest limit is reached. Coyotes can be hunted year round without a license.
