The black bear hunting season shall close in each black bear hunt area or group of hunt areas when the female mortality limit specified for the respective hunt area or group of hunt areas has been reached. The season dates in Wyoming vary immensely by season and weapon type. There will be a spring archery April 15-30 followed by a spring rifle May 15-June 15. In the fall, the archery season varies with both August and September start dates, and the rifle is no cleaner with hunts starting in August, September, and October. The biggest thing when hunting black bear in Wyoming is making sure the area you are hunting has not met the annual female mortality limit. You may only have one permit per calendar year.
