Two proposed bills that enable younger Wyomingites to hunt, including those with terminal illnesses, have the support of the Wyoming Wildlife Federation (WWF).
House Bill 115 (HB115) would allow 11-year-olds to hunt if they turn 12 within the calendar year.

The House Travel Committee has recommended both bills pass.
