Conference vmsnet::hunting$note:hunting

	Jeff, could you be bothered to tell me a little about
	WY hunting and license application rules? What are the
	big game licenses they offer for drawing? Do you apply
	for particular areas? Does WY use a system of preference
	points like CO does? What is the license cost? How easy
	is it to draw licenses for elk and mule deer? Any useful
	addresses or phone #s?

	I know this is quite a lot, but if you could be bothered
	it would be nice to get the information. Thanks in advance.

	Cheers

    I know that deer are $150 this year. They went up from $100. I`ll 
    get the specifics and post them. The onlyrule I know of is that part
    of Wyoming is a "Wilderness Area"...which means that in order to
    hunt there you must have a guide/outfitter. I don`t hunt in one of
    these area`s . 
    
    I`ll get the addresses, rules.....etc and enter them by tomorrow!!!

    Here is what I`ve got ...
    
	What are the big game licenses they offer for drawing?   
    
    TheBooklet I get only talks about Deer, Elk, Antelope, and I think
    Bighorn. 
    	
    	What is license cost? 
    
    Prices went up this year........my deey was $150 up from $100. Last
    year antelope was 200 and elk 300. 
    
    	How easy is it to draw licenses for elk and mule deer?     
              
    I`ve gotten a licence every year for the past three years. Some og the
    guys that go out have been picked for 20 years. I`ve only applied for 
    deer so I can`t answer about the rest.I do know they used to get
    antelope also 
    
    Licenses and seasons are by areas. The seasons are different by area.
    They choose a certain number of out of state licences dependant upon
    areas hunted

    I hunted Wyoming in 1988 and a friend of mine lives there. The reason
    that people have not been turned down is that the number of hunters
    that have applied are less than the number of permits available for the
    lottery. The extras then go on sale in late summer. But make sure that
    you are specific and correct when you send in for your application. Any
    flaws and you get turned down. They are very strict on this. I easily
    could have gotten an elk license when I was there, they had quite a few
    cow tags left. I also could have picked up another deer tag. My buddy
    got 2 elk tags last fall. When I went, deer and antelope was 100, elk
    was 250 and most other big game was 300. But it was still half the
    price of Montana's. Deer there is 200 and elk is 500 I believe. This is
    for non-residents of course. They take care of their resident's. Deer
    for them is 15, elk is 50. I am going back this year for vacation. But
    maybe next year I will go for hunting again.

    re: .5
     Yup...... your right as far as the number of people applying. Last 
    year was the first year there were no extra licenses for our area. 
     
     The first year I went I bought my license in July/August....I woudn`t 
    have been able to do that last year!!!

    What area did you apply for? I was hunting south of Jackson in the
    Hoback Junction area. Come on 1993!
    						bret

    I hunted up by Devils Tower....in the North East crner of the state.
    About 30-40 North of Sundance.....near a small town of Huelet. I`ll be
    back up there for this fall ....If I get a license. 
    
    				
    				Good Luck...
