Well, for those of you that are interested, Wyoming just posted the nonresident draw results for deer and antelope on the internet. Maybe other tags as well, I do not know.

Anyway you can check at http://gf.state.wy.us

I drew an antelope tag for an area near Rawlins and can hardly wait.

Waah! I didn't draw!!!

I got my doe antelope tag!

Man! The dry spell is over! At least where it concerns antelope tags. After three years my Sis, bro-in law, 13 year old niece and I drew area 48 type one tags. I guess the trick will be to find water and look around, what? Good luck to all that drew and better luck next year for those who didn't. Remember to stay in the two tracks, close the gates if closed, pick up after yourselves (and others) and have a great time in this great state. Gary

YEP!
AREA 25 TYPE 1

I got 2 antelope doe tags, unit 44! First succesful draw I've had in 4 states!

Leif,
Area 44 is right by the town where I live. When you get up this way give a shout.

Well, I see I didn't draw.

Osama bin Laden canceled my hunt last year. My job with the federal government is "mission essential" and I could not take leave at a later time to go -- even though the state of Wyoming felt I should be able to do so. If I'm not working for the government in civilian clothes, I'm working for it wearing BDUs. Either way, my free time is pretty well restricted.

I got out of the rental car, Delta refunded my money, and the outfitter agreed to roll my hunt over to this year. Wyoming said "f**k you, and thanks." They said unless I was doing work "directly related to the relief efforts at the World Trade Center or the Pentagon," I wasn't getting a refund. They didn't care that I went to work at Rock Island Arsenal everyday after the attacks, even though the rest of the Island's workforce was sent home for a week. They didn't care that I was called to active duty for a week to man the EOC (on third shift) at my command. They didn't care that "year end" processing needed to get done at my job and that, if it didn't get done, soldiers wouldn't get paid, medicine wouldn't get shipped, ammunition and weapons wouldn't be moved, et cetera and so forth.

Now, it's looking like "we're next in line" to go do things in the sand or to support operations along those lines. I look forward to that, I really do... but given this was my last "known" available year, and the way things went last year... and that I had a .280 Ackley Improved built just for THAT hunt, which still hasn't been used on a hunt yet... well, to the little b*tch in the G&F office in Wyoming who I dealt with last year, "Romona" or something along those lines... please, allow me to take this opportunity to say that YOU CAN KISS MY BIG HAIRY ASS!

Thank you for your support.
