Cartridge and Archery Equipment Regulations Liberalized for Big Game, Trophy Game and Turkey

http://wgfd.wyo.gov/web2011/news-1001268.aspx

just came out 1-28-2013. A big FU to the Feds. Yes you can hunt with the evil assault rifle. At least in the FREE STATE of WYOMING.
have to use at least 60 gn bullet.

• For deer, antelope, mountain lion, and gray wolf, the major change is the addition of .22 centerfire cartridges as legal ammunition. For the taking of deer, antelope, mountain lions, and gray wolves in areas where they are designated as trophy game, hunters can use any centerfire firearm of at least .22 caliber, using a cartridge at least two inches long and firing a bullet of at least 60 grains.

They still do not allow suppressed for hunting, go figure.

We currently have a state bill trying to legalize this. I emailed my local senator and representative but haven't gotten any reply :/ I'm really hoping it passes though

Yeah, figured I'd piss some traditionalists off. And take advantage of the fact that Wyoming has no magazine capacity laws for hunting (I've even met several Wyoming residents who don't believe me). I think my 3gun AR will work pretty well for hunting purposes, and even be a couple pounds lighter than the FAL.

hope they can get the suppressors legal, because it is Soooooooo nice to shoot/hunt suppressed. It's amazing that Colo. is "ahead" of WY. in both of these regards. The use of the AR15 for hunting AND the use of suppressors.

I'm about halfway through my wait on a .22 can and scouting for a SWR Octane 9 HD. If this bill passes for WY then my wallet will really hate me because I'll have to get a .223 suppressor.
