Recorded bear windows for Wyoming, including history and unverified dates.

Recorded dates, not hunting permission

Status assessment: 2026-10-14 UTC (static build snapshot). Static activity badges and day counts use this build assessment, not a live check. Interactive finder results show their own UTC assessment day.

0 of 1 recorded windows have date-review evidence. Other rows remain unverified. Historical records are retained and are not a current-season promise.

Check your current agency regulations, GMU or zone, hunt code, license and access restrictions before hunting. An agency link or successful publication fetch does not verify a row. Reviewed base dates do not cover every license-specific exception.
