Chances are, you’re breaking laws in Wyoming and don’t even know it.There are some things you could be doing very innocently in Wyoming that could lead to a fine or even jail time. Not many people realize that these things are actually illegal in this state. Check out these weird laws in Wyoming.
1. You may not take a picture of a rabbit from January to April without an official permit.
Why is it illegal to take a picture of a rabbit in Wyoming? No one seems to know why this seasonal law was ever in effect. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Wyoming trapping regulations or anything else.
2. It's illegal for women to stand within five feet of a bar while drinking.
This is a relatively new law passed last year that makes it a crime to gather data regarding the condition of the environment with the intention of sharing it with the state or federal government. And yes, a photo is considered data. The law seems to be protecting polluters from prosecution and making it a crime to collect evidence against them.
5. Scouting for wildlife with drones during hunting season is now illegal in the state of Wyoming.
This law bans the use of unmanned drones and piloted aircraft in scouting game animals from August 1st to January 31st. This is due to the fact that it goes against fair-chase principles because it just isn't fair to the animals or the hunters.
6. No person shall take, wound or destroy any fish in Wyoming with the use of a firearm.
