WG&F has released the draft season quotas for the fall.
Some pronghorn tag reductions and some changes in elk licenses too.
Look them over and submit comments if you choose.

Thanks for the update. One of the antelope units I'd been eyeing had a large quota drop. Guess I'll scratch that from the list.

Appreciate the info. Looks like they cut the # of tags for pronghorn in most units.

Don't know if it's in response to the weather. A couple of weeks ago SE WY got hit by a big snow storm. A friend that lives between Douglas and Casper said he had 32 inches of snow. That kind of snow kills antelope. Cheyenne was reported to have 24 inches. So this is a good year to ask the locals in your preferred hunting area if they had any winter kill.....

Thanks Wytex!

This is my 17th year for putting in for a moose tag in WY as a non-resident. Maybe I'll draw a tag before I'm dead (damn point creep).
I hate that WY (WGFD) always makes you pick a unit before they decide how many tags will be allocated for each hunt area.
Can you get that fixed before next year?

I hear ya'. Spouse should draw a resident moose tag this year but he may modify his app since the quotas came out.


We've had drought and then the big snow that really did a number on pronghorn in some areas.

Elk licenses are up though.

I saw that. I also heard there's a proposal to change the non resident allocation to 10%. This has come up before but stack the two together and I wonder if a lot of points get burned this year. I'm looking at other units with a little better odds.. maybe two point buffet rather than half a point.

90/10 will probably come up again this coming year and might well get passed for next year.
What is being pushed is a 10% cap or quota on NR LQ, limited quota, licenses in initial draw. If passed LQ elk tags would decrease but General elk tags would increase. Wyoming has a state statute that guarantees NR a certain number of licenses, if LQ tags are taken away then General tags will be increased to reach the quota.
It will affect NR pronghorn and deer tags but I bet still have licenses available in leftover draw for NR.
The outfitters association is also pushing a huge price increase for NR elk licenses.

Pronghorn numbers can bounce back pretty quick with good conditions, hoping we have a nice summer and fall to help with those numbers.

I have 10 deer points and now there moving it to 13 for the unit I want. I'm 65 and times not on my side,
Also won't be using my antelope points this year since no doe/fawn tags in the unit we hunt.

Thanks for the update
