CHEYENNE - Black bear hunters take note: Hunt area 7, the Laramie Peak area, closed May 4.

Area 7 includes the Laramie Range from Cheyenne to Casper. Hunters should check the Black Bear Hunting Regulations for specific boundaries.

The area closed because the harvest quota of four sows, or female bears, was reached.

Black bear hunters can check the status of their hunt areas by calling (800) 264-1280.
