Apply now for resident elk, deer and antelope licenses
Application period May 1-31
May 5, 2005
Applications for limited quota elk, deer and antelope hunting licenses must be received at the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s Cheyenne office by 5 p.m. May 31. Hunters are encouraged to apply early in the application process, according to Chris Canterbury, the G&F’s license draw manager. "That way if there’s something missing or that needs clarified on your application, we have plenty time to contact you," she said. The resident elk, deer and antelope drawing is scheduled for July 3.
Applying early helps insure the application will reach Cheyenne on time in the event the mail is accidentally delivered to another location or if an emergency delays delivery. Canterbury asks hunters to make sure applications are complete by signing the application, entering their date of birth on the top line and making sure proof of residency is completed on youth applications.
Hunters can check season dates and quotas before applying by calling (800) 842-1934 or by picking up a "summary map" for deer, elk or antelope at license agents or G&F offices around May 9. Applications are available at the same outlets. Resident hunters can purchase general elk and deer licenses from license agents through the end of the season. There is no application fee when buying licenses over the counter.
