Big Horn, Washakie County youth invited to apply for award

Posted

Youth in the Big Horn Basin have the opportunity to win lifetime Wyoming hunting licenses, with applications now being accepted for the Tom Easterly Memorial Award.

The award was established in the spirit of former Wyoming Game and Fish Department Greybull Biologist Tom Easterly, who believed in the future generations of conservationists. His passion was introducing young hunters to the sport of bird hunting and sharing the importance of wildlife habitat.

Now in its fifth year, the award will give two area youth a lifetime Wyoming game bird/small game license and lifetime conservation stamp, valued at $496.50.

Youth ages 14-17 who reside within the boundaries of the Greybull Biologist District are eligible to apply; towns include Basin, Burlington, Cowley, Greybull, Lovell, Manderson, Ten Sleep and Worland. Youth also need to have continuously resided in Wyoming for at least 10 years immediately preceding their application.

To apply, eligible youth must submit an application accompanied with an essay describing why he or she hunts and why wildlife is important to them. Applications are due by April 1 and will be judged by the applicant’s qualifications and the content of their essay. Applications may be downloaded at https://bit.ly/2UmJOfW or are available at the Cody Regional Game and Fish office.
