CHEYENNE — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department wants to remind the public that recovering road-killed wildlife requires authorization.

People need approval from Game and Fish prior to collection through the Wyoming 511 app. Authorization for the collection can be done through the app, even without cellular service.

The public can request authorization to salvage deer, elk, pronghorn, moose, wild bison and wild turkey from unintentional vehicle collisions.

A person who is authorized to collect roadkill must abide by the safety guidelines outlined within the regulation:

Only take road-killed wildlife from a public road or highway from sunrise until sunset.

Parking off the road is required and emergency flashers must be used.

No field dressing of any kind is permitted on the roadway.
