In partnership with the International Safari Club Foundation and the American Bear Foundation, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department will distribute bear spray to hunters and anglers at no cost.
At each site, up to one hundred cans of bear spray will be given out to hunters or anglers on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants must show a current Wyoming hunting or fishing license to receive a can of bear spray.
The cans will be available at the following locations:

“Bear spray is an effective deterrent in an aggressive bear encounter, and we hope that this effort will continue to raise awareness and remind recreationists in bear country to be prepared and stay safe,” said Kyle Garrett, Bear Wise Wyoming coordinator. “In addition to the raffle, Game and Fish will have top carnivore biologists on hand to talk about bear ecology, conservation and promoting proactive ‘Bear Wise’ behavior to reduce the potential for conflict.”
The simulated bear is mounted on a rail system, allowing participants to deploy bear spray in a simulated sudden encounter with a charging bear.
“This is a great opportunity for people to practice using inert spray and for Game and Fish to promote safety as many hunters prepare for the fall season,” Garrett said.
