CASPER – Wyoming elk hunters can now purchase three licenses in a single season. Effective immediately, Wyoming elk hunters can now have up to three elk licenses in select elk hunt areas across the state. In addition to purchasing one full price elk license and one reduced price cow/calf elk license or two reduced price cow/calf elk licenses this season, hunters – residents or nonresidents – can now buy a third elk license provided that it is a reduced price cow/calf elk license and is issued for one of the following elk hunt areas: 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 34, 47, 48, 49, 61, 63, 64, 66, 92, 93, 94, 104, 108, 114, 122, 125, or 129. The 2012 Wyoming Legislature passed a bill eliminating the two elk license limit and gave the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission the authority to set the number of elk licenses a person can possess. In early August 2012, Commission President Aaron Clark and Governor Matt Mead approved an emergency regulation allowing hunters to purchase up to three elk licenses. This change gives the Game and Fish Department additional flexibility in managing elk populations. “We appreciate the legislature and the governor providing us additional flexibility to expand elk hunting opportunity, which in turn, we hope will increase elk harvest,” said Brian Nesvik, chief game warden for the Game and Fish. “This regulation allows us to focus on specific areas of the state where elk herds are over our population management objectives.” Leftover elk licenses can be purchased on a first come-first serve basis through the Game and Fish website, from electronic license selling agents, and Game and Fish offices across the state.

I hope it is based on population of animals not desire for license money. Oh buying licenses in units here they do not sell out, that is not what I understood. If it is mostly private property, then likely some monies for the state, local "ranchers" and others. May not be as bad as it seems from a long way away. If it good for those of you in Wyoming, eat a elk steak for me! Don't limit your challenges . . . Challenge your limits | |||

If they are not increasing the area quota and there are going to be left over licenses anyway...who cares Mike Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

Most of this is private property, and good for them if they sell some tags. | |||

Same tags and areas that have leftovers year after year. Sucess with the ones that I am familiar with are dependent on migration, weather, and access. | |||

So they will sell tags to landowners or guided hunters that have access. And selling tags is all they care about. | |||

Wyoming is very good about this. The number of antelope tags each can hold varies from year to year accoding to herd size. In Colorado, on the other hand, it's more about the money. | |||

It's almost as easy here to fill your freezer with protein as it was in Alaska. If you play it right you can feed your whole neighborhood with multiple tags for most of the big stuff easily acquired. Access is the only real problem here but not a huge roadblock. Mark MARK H.

That's a bunch of baloney for the most part or they wouldn't have made big cuts in a lot of the deer and antelope units this year because of decreasing populations due to winterkill and other reasons! | |||
