Left Over Licenses

The calendar may read July, but hunting seasons are not far off and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD) is reminding hunters that the time to apply for leftover licenses and a preference point for moose or bighorn sheep is now.
All Full Price Limited Quota and Reduced Price Limited Quota licenses remaining after the initial drawing will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis through the Department’s Electronic Licensing Service via the WGFD website, Department offices, at automated license selling agent locations or through the submission of a paper application to the Cheyenne Headquarters Office.
Full Price Elk, Deer and Antelope licenses will be available July 6 at 8:00 Mountain Time. The Reduced Price Cow/Calf Elk, Doe/Fawn Deer and Doe/Fawn Antelope licenses will be available July 20 at 8:00 Mountain Time. A current list of all leftover licenses available for purchase can be found at the Departments website http://gf.state.wy.us
Be advised that some of the leftover licenses are valid for hunt areas with private land and applicants must have permission to hunt on private land before applying for a license.
Hunters who did not apply for a moose or bighorn sheep license in the initial drawing, but want to keep accumulating preference points, may apply for a preference point only July 1 through September 30, 2011. The application form (Form 30) to apply for a preference point only is available on the department website. The price for a moose or bighorn sheep preference point is $7.00 each and there is no application fee to purchase a preference point only. There is a five-year waiting period for any successful moose and bighorn sheep hunter. Applicants may not apply for both a preference point and a bighorn sheep and or moose license.
Hunters are advised to read the 2011 Wyoming Resident/Nonresident Hunting Information and Applications Booklet for detailed hunting information. Hunting information is also available at the website http://gf.state.wy.us or by calling the department’s Green River office at 307-875-3223.
