Universal Citation: WY Code of Rules 60-7

Current through March 23, 2024

(a) Before a certification is issued to a licensee, Department personnel shall review the applicant's proposed enclosure taking into consideration the number of sage grouse requested, the welfare of the sage grouse to be possessed, the purpose(s) for which the sage grouse shall be held and to insure adequate protection for Wyoming's wildlife resources. Sage grouse enclosures shall be constructed to meet Department approval prior to possession of live sage grouse.

(b) A sage grouse enclosure shall be physically separate from holding facilities utilized for other species of game birds, domestic animals, domesticated animals or livestock. Sage grouse holding facilities shall be constructed to include a minimum one hundred (100) foot unoccupied buffer zone around the enclosure to avoid physical contact between other species of game birds, domestic birds or livestock to diminish the transmission of aerosolized pathogens.

(c) Enclosures shall include vegetation consistent with the needs of sage grouse, sources of visual obstruction, small shelters, cover and sub-pens that enable complete separation of the sexes during certain times of year.
