Wyoming NR shed hunting

[Falldreams]

I know there is a somewhat similar thread around this time last year in regards to this same topic. It seems like there may be some gray area and new laws in effect for nonresident shed hunting in Wyoming?? Im curious if anyone has any real world experience and knowledge of what all legalities there are now as of current times for NR Wyoming shed hunting??

As a Wyoming NR you are no longer allowed to shed hunt until 7 days after season opener for Residents and must have a Conservation Stamp.

"Shed antlers and horns conservation stamp requirement for nonresidents (HB0276)

This bill establishes shed antlers and horns on public land as property of the state and requires nonresidents to obtain a conservation stamp prior to the collection of shed antlers and horns on designated lands. A conservation stamp will not be required for residents of Wyoming or any person under 15 years of age. Nonresidents will not be required to obtain a conservation stamp this year. Game and Fish will provide updates as these changes move through the regulation process.

Collection of antlers or horns by residents and nonresidents (HB0123)

Wyoming residents will have the opportunity to collect shed antlers on designated lands seven days before the start of the nonresident season. Currently, the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission regulation prohibits anyone from collecting shed antlers or horns from public lands west of the Continental Divide, excluding the Great Divide Basin and some land west of Laramie, from Jan. 1 through 6 a.m on May 1. This bill goes into effect on July 1, 2023."
