CHEYENNE (WNE) — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is hiring up to eight warden positions around the state. The deadline to apply is Aug. 15.

Applicants must have earned a bachelor’s degree — or will receive their degree by Jan. 6 — in wildlife management, range management, biology, zoology, ichthyology or other closely related fields. Other bachelor’s degrees may be considered with at least 20 hours of wildlife-related coursework, as evidenced by required transcripts.

The game warden recruitment process is tiered. Eligible candidates may be selected for an online interview and psychological test. Those selected to continue in the process will be invited to a week of in-person interviews and testing in Cheyenne Sept. 16-20. The interview includes a mandatory polygraph examination, psychological evaluation, game warden knowledge exam, job suitability profile, physical fitness test and in-person interview with a Game and Fish panel. Candidates must also agree to a background investigation.
