Wyoming Game Wardens Association
The Wyoming Game Wardens Association was formed in 1973 for the purpose of furnishing a medium for good fellowship and loyalty to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and fellow officers, effectively maintaining the wildlife resources of the State, promoting a more efficient and able force of game wardens and to meet our responsibilities and problems collectively. The Association is a nonprofit charitable organization.
Since 1985, the Wyoming Game Wardens Association has had the ability to provide financial assistance to various charitable organizations, programs designed to enhance outdoor awareness to school age children, research designed to improve wildlife law enforcement, handicapped hunter assistance, scholarship programs and memorial funds. Total contributions have exceeded $400,000 since 1985.
Membership to the Wyoming Game Wardens Association is comprised of commissioned Wyoming Game and Fish Department law enforcement officers, retired officers and associate members.

Help Wyoming Game Wardens by Utilizing The Stop Poaching Program
The "STOP POACHING" program is an opportunity for you to help protect your wildlife resource. Rewards are paid when an arrest is made or a citation issued. The program works because people care about Wyoming's wildlife.
The Stop Poaching program works because people truly care about Wyoming's wildlife resources. Each year, hundreds of animals are taken illegally in Wyoming, and without tips from concerned members of the public, many of these crimes would go undetected. Game wardens follow up on all information received through the Stop Poaching program and in many cases these tips lead to successful prosecutions of violators. Tips can be submitted by phone, text or online and reporters can choose to remain anonymous. Individuals submitting information leading to a conviction can be eligible for a reward through the Wyoming Wildlife Protector's Association.
Donations to support the Wyoming Stop Poaching Program can be made through the Wyoming Wildlife Protector’s Association:
