They sure don't "own" the wildlife. If that's the case, each time a motorist hits a deer, elk, or other, than the state should have to pay damages since they failed to keep "thier" wildlife off theroadways.
I'm guessing that the state actually "manages" the wildlife and there is no ownership involved. ????
According to the 10th amendment it is the states. And all the Wyoming statutes wildlife belongs to the state. Try and make them pay for any liablity! There are laws regarding that to!
