Title: Wyoming Leftover Licenses
Post by: Tacbeav on July 01, 2017, 07:50:42 AM: Anybody else apply for a Leftover Wyoming License? I'm hoping for a "Reduced Price Cow Only" tag elk for area 92 or 94. It seems like a good way to learn a new area and hopefully come home with some good meat.

Post by: Tacbeav on July 01, 2017, 10:49:44 AM: Yes, preference points do not come into play at all in the left over drawing. Bobcat, is it the exact same tag you applied for again? If so, how would it be available as a left over if you were not able to get it in the original drawing? Just wondering. I hope you are successful this time around.

There is a non resident quota in the first drawing. Residents did not purchase all the licenses available to them, creating leftovers.

Post by: Miles on July 01, 2017, 01:00:53 PM: I like that non-res and residents can put in as a group in the leftover draw. Sucks you can't in the first one.

Post by: Tacbeav on July 01, 2017, 01:12:18 PM: Thanks for answering my question Bob33. Just getting to know Wyoming's system myself. I do plan on buying a preference point soon and hopefully drawing a general elk tag next year.

Post by: CaNINE on July 04, 2017, 07:49:18 AM: Kinda a related question...

I understand wyoming has a random draw. Not sure if it's for all hunt categories or not but 25% of the tags are set aside for a random drawing.

Has that drawing already taken place? And if you applied for a special draw and we're not selected are you automatically entered in the random draw?

Post by: Chad E. on July 04, 2017, 08:50:12 AM: The random draw is part of Wyoming's special draw system. It happens immediately before but in conjunction with the preference point drawing. When you apply for a special permit in Wyoming you are entered in both parts of the draw.

Not selected in Wyoming means you didn't draw in either part of the draw

Good luck! I'm hoping to pull a cow elk tag.

Post by: finnman on July 13, 2017, 12:18:14 PM: How did everyone do?
We pulled 2 doe antelope and one doe deer tags, so we will be canning lots of meat this fall!

Post by: Bob33 on July 13, 2017, 12:37:24 PM: Next week I'll buy leftover antelope licenses. The areas I'm interested in have lots.

Post by: Ridgerunner on July 13, 2017, 01:34:55 PM: Got my antelope tag

Post by: Tacbeav on July 13, 2017, 01:40:31 PM: My Brother and I were successful in getting a couple of Elk Unit 94 reduced price cow tags. It looks like the drawing odds for us were about 40% so feeling fortunate. Looking forward to spending time in really nice country and hopefully coming home with some meat.
