Leftover Tags On Sale August 15
Wyoming's leftover reduced doe/fawn antelope and deer and cow/calf elk licenses go on sale August 15, first-come, first-served at license agents in the respective hunt areas.

"Even though this was the fourth year doe/fawn licenses were issued by drawing, overall demand was still light and licenses are leftover in almost all areas they were offered," said Jean Cole, Wyoming Game and Fish Department license section manager.

Cole reports demand has increased significantly for cow/calf elk licenses and leftovers are available in less than half the hunt areas.

Hunters are alerted the doe/fawn and cow/calf licenses, except for Pioneer license holders, can only be purchased at the license agents. Some license agents accept mailed applications, others do not. Check with the specific license agent to find out their policy.

To get their reduced license price, Pioneer hunters must stop by or send their doe/fawn application to the G&F's Cheyenne office. Pioneers can purchase their doe/fawn licenses at license agents, but must pay the full price. Pioneers are hunters who are at least 70 years old and have resided in Wyoming for at least 40 years.

Nonresidents can have friends purchase doe/fawn and cow/calf licenses for them at the license agents. The purchaser will need to supply the nonresident's vital statistics: name, birth date, height, weight, hair and eye color.

If someone is purchasing doe/fawn licenses for a resident friend, a signed application is needed because a signature is required to verify residency.

Resident doe/fawn licenses are $20; $14 youth. Resident cow/calf elk $30; youth $20. Nonresident doe/fawn $80; youth $50. Nonresident cow/calf $150; youth $75.

For information about doe/fawn and cow/calf license availability and location, call (800) 842-1934, or (307) 777-4600 from out of state, or visit the G&F website at gf.state.wy.us.
