Wyoming road kill bill could be a boon for taxidermists but raises highway safety concerns By Brendan LaChance on February 24, 2021

CASPER, Wyo. A proposal to allow people to collect road killed animals from the side of highways (with proper permits or permission) has its supporters but is also causing some concern about highway safety.
Rep. Dan Zwonitzer (Laramie County) is the primary sponsor of House Bill 95 and told the House Travel, Recreation, Wildlife & Cultural Resources Committee on Tuesday that he initially proposed similar legislation in 2013, prompted by the Cody Youth for Justice.
While road kill collection legislation has not made its way through the Wyoming Legislature on the several occasions it has been proposed, Zwonitzer said that Montana, Washington state and others out west have passed such laws since his initial effort in 2013.
