Wyoming

Kill season: Year round
Bag limit: no limit
Price for license: 0, no license required
Running season: N/A
Other:

Only law on the books for coon-hunting here is that you are supposed to carry written permission if you are on private property.

Same requirements for out-of-State hunters.

What States have an affordable option for non-resident's to hunt for a week? I've enjoyed Iowa, and was looking into Nebraska; however, they both require you to buy a year long nonresident fur bearer's license- $200 - $300.

I believe Arkansas has no season or license required for them- what about other States?

Adult -$81.97 , 12-16 year old $41.97,
Season is October 23,2021 to February 19,2022.
Unlimited harvest.
We have year round training that includes Sunday on private property with permission. No log guns can be carried while training.
Very strict trespass laws with penalties of fines up to $2,500 and a year in jail.
The new purple paint trespass law ( title 18 ) allows landowners to paint purple stripes every 100 feet instead of using posters.

The good news for hounds men follows:

This law also authorizes unarmed persons to go onto private property for the sole purpose of retrieving a hunting dog.

No persons may allow their dog to chase or kill big game.

And be aware--there are a lot of snares being set in this State and the 220 conibear is legal on land!! So know where you are hunting as best you can.
