CASPER, Wyo. — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is looking to hire as many as 10 new game wardens to serve in positions across the state.
“Wyoming game wardens have a long and proud tradition of protecting and conserving Wyoming’s wildlife and serving the public,” said Rick King, chief game warden. “This admirable job is awarded to highly-qualified applicants with a passion for wildlife and serving those who recreate in the state.”
People must have either earned a bachelor’s degree in wildlife management, range management, biology, zoology, ichthyology or related fields or be on track to receive one such degree by June 1, 2023, in order to be eligible to become a Wyoming game warden. Game and Fish noted that people with other bachelor’s degrees can be considered if the applicant has at least 20 hours of wildlife-related coursework.
The deadline to apply is Friday, Nov. 18, with full application process details available on Game and Fish’s website.
After the initial applications, eligible candidates may be selected for online interviews and a psychological test, according to Game and Fish.
“Those selected to continue in the process will be invited to a week of in-person interviews and testing in Cheyenne, Jan. 30 – Feb. 3, 2023,” the department added. “The interview includes a mandatory polygraph test, psychological evaluation, game warden knowledge exam, job suitability profile and in-person interview with a Game and Fish panel. Candidates must also agree to a background investigation.
