    Wyoming NR Elk

    Is this right? They're proposing the application deadline be January 31, but we have to wait until June for the results?

    I'm not sure if they'll have a public comment period, but just a heads up on what they're proposing.

    Here's the online comment link:

    Sure seems that way, not a fan of that at all.

      Yes, sounds like it's going to happen. I am glad I got drawn this year, so I have 7 months to prepare for the hunt, not 3.

        PSA, Wyoming's the one where you can't hunt wilderness as a non-res without a guide.

          Yessir, Wyoming is probably the worst elk state in the West. I wouldn't waste my time. Colorado is much better...and closer too.

            Ha, ha I see what you did.
            The outfitters association pushed for the Jan 31 application deadline, they knew the draw date was moving up to May 31.
            The G&F needs the draw to happen after they set the season quotas, not before, that is why it moved and for the best.
            It does seem crazy you have that early of an app deadline but thank the outfitters for that. They still want to lock in your money before the other states application deadlines.
            Also noted NR will be guaranteed the entire quota set aside for you, if less LQ tags are applied for than allocated, the number of general tags will be raised to the quota.

              I mean, it seems great... if you need a guide.

                If this will help my odds of getting drawn, I'm all for it. I'm tired of getting a preference point every year and every year it takes one more to get drawn. I cant catch up.

                  If you go to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department website, the online comment period is open.

                  Nonresident elk draw – The proposed modify/withdraw date is May 8. The application period will remain the month of January. Tentatively, the draw results will be released prior to the close of the deer and antelope application deadline in May.
