Leftover License Drawing Deadline is July 20

Hunters, both resident and nonresident, who missed the deadline or struck out in Wyoming's initial elk, deer and antelope drawings, are alerted the application deadline for the leftover license drawing is July 20.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department hopes to conduct the leftover drawing around July 31.

All leftover elk, deer and antelope licenses will be issued in the leftover drawing, except doe/fawn deer and antelope licenses and extra cow/calf elk licenses. The leftover doe/fawn and cow/calf licenses will be sold at license agents in or near the respective hunt areas beginning Aug. 15.

For the leftover drawing, elk licenses are available in 68 hunt areas, deer licenses in 12 areas and three nonresident regions (B, F and J) and "any antelope" licenses in 29 areas of eastern Wyoming.

License remaining after the leftover drawing will be sold "as processed" through the G&F's Cheyenne office.

Hunters are urged to obtain access before applying in private land areas.

For more information about leftover licenses, contact the G&F at (800) 842-1934 in Wyoming or (307) 777-4600.
