Dear Hunter:

Thank you for your interest in hunting in Wyoming. Our state is fortunate to have some of the most impressive wildlife resources anywhere in the world. When you hunt in Wyoming,you get to enjoy our wide-open spaces, snow-capped peaks, lush valleys, and roaring rivers.You also get to pursue some of the wiliest game animals in North America including elk,deer, antelope, and dozens of other wildlife species that make Wyoming a hunter’s paradise.By hunting, you are helping us maintain these outstanding wildlife resources for futuregenerations to enjoy.

The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation is the most successful system of wildlife management in the world. This model relies on some basic tenets, including publicownership of the wildlife resource, regulations prohibiting commercialization of wildlife,hunting and fishing opportunity for every citizen regardless of status, and science- basedmanagement of the resource. Hunters have been the backbone of this model for over 100years and will continue to be in the future.

One of the best ways to ensure the North American Model continues to be effective is tomaintain our hunting traditions. Nationwide, the number of hunters is declining. Even inWyoming, where hunting traditions are strong, we are losing hunters faster than we arerecruiting them. As a hunter, you can help change this trend. By simply introducing a childto hunting, you can help get our youth and others involved in this cherished outdoor tradition.

As a final comment, wherever you hunt in Wyoming, please respect the land—it provides thehabitats that support our magnificent wildlife populations. If you hunt on private land, pleaserespect the rights of the landowners and take a moment to thank them for the manycontributions they have made in providing wildlife habitat and hunting opportunity.

We look forward to seeing you in Wyoming. Good luck and good hunting.

Sincerely,

Steve K. FerrellDirector

Applicats are remided about havig permissio to hut

o private lad before applyig for a licese, otherwise you may

ed up with a licese ad o place to hut ad these liceses are

orefudable.

Section 2. General Application and License Inormationa. Application Fee Information. Please refer to the license fee charts onpage 4 for license prices. A nonrefundable application fee of $14.00 isincluded in the amount to be remitted for each big game license applied forin the initial drawing.

b. Computer Drawing. In an attempt to assure fairness, all Limited Quota

licenses are initially allocated to applicants on the basis of randomly generated numbers through a computerized drawing system.

c. 2011 Application Forms. You have been provided 6 forms.For more Forms, please photocopy .

• Special Elk, Full Price Elk and Reduced Price Elk (Form 17) (Page 31)

• Special Deer, Full Price Deer and Reduced Price Deer (Form 18)(Page 33)

• Special Antelope, Full Price Antelope and Reduced Price Antelope(Form 19) (Page 35)

• Moose, Bighorn Sheep and Mountain Goat (Form 2) (Page 37)

• Request To Be Removed From Drawing (Form 16) (Page 41)

• Wild Bison Priority List (Form 7) (Page 39)

Each drawing is independent of all other drawings.

Although several species are included on one application form(Moose/Sheep/Goat), the drawing for each species is conducted

independently and the result of one drawing has no effect upon otherdrawings. Therefore, success in the drawing for one species doesnot guarantee success for another. For example, success for a Moose

license does not guarantee success for a Bighorn Sheep license.

d. Five Year Waiting Period. Wyoming Statute provides that any

successful Moose or Bighorn Sheep applicant must wait 5 years to nextapply for or receive another Moose or Bighorn Sheep license. For example,a Moose applicant successful in 2006 would not be eligible to apply for or

receive another Moose license until 2011. Nor would the applicant beeligible to purchase a moose preference point during this same 5-yearperiod (until 2011). However, the applicant could continue to properly apply for Bighorn Sheep until successful. The 5-year waiting period would

then pertain to applying for or receiving another Bighorn Sheep license orpurchasing a Bighorn Sheep preference point.

The Mountain Goat license is a once-in-a-lifetime license. If you drew a Mountain Goat license after 1995, you may not apply again.

No person who is issued a Wild Bison hunting license and whoharvests a Wild Bison after January 31, 2001, shall be eligible to apply for or

receive a hunting license for Wild Bison in any future year.

e. Big Game Preference Points. The preference point system is designed

to improve your odds of eventually drawing a license in a hard-to-draw hunt area. For Full Price Moose, Bighorn Sheep, Elk, Deer and Antelope,75% of available licenses in each hunt area and license type combination

will be allocated to a “preference point draw.” Applicants with the highestpreference point totals will receive priority in the preference point draw. The remaining 25% of available licenses will be allocated to a “random

draw.” In this manner, everyone who applies has at least some chance of drawing a license regardless of their preference point total.

Preference points can be accumulated either by applying for a licenseor by purchasing a preference point. Applicants who are unsuccessful

drawing a Moose or Bighorn Sheep license will receive a preference point, which is then added to their total for the species. Similarly, applicants whoareunsuccessfuldrawingtheirrstchoiceforaFullPriceElk,Deeror Antelope license will receive a preference point if they select the preference

point fee option on the application form and pay the proper fees (seediscussion under “Preference Points for Elk, Deer and Antelope”). Nopreference points will be earned when a person applies for a closed hunt

area or invalid hunt area/license type. The option to purchase a preferencepoint enables the person to continue accumulating points without applying for a license, or if the person’s original license application was rejected for

any reason.

Preference points can be purchased online by using the WGFD

website. To purchase a preference point, an applicant must be at least

eleven (11) years old at the time of application and at least twelve (12)years old by December 31 of the year of application. Applicants for a big

game hunting license must be at least eleven (11) years old at the time of application and at least twelve (12) years old when hunting. No personmay apply for more than one (1) preference point per species in the same

calendar year.

The application form (Form 30) to purchase preference points only

will be available on the WGFD website beginning June 15th, or you may request an application by calling (307) 777-4600. The application period topurchase a preference point only is July 1 – Sept. 30.

Preference points are assigned to the person’s sportspersonidenticationnumberandaretiedtoaspecies,butnottoaspecichunt

area. You are allowed to apply for different hunt areas from one year to thenext. However, if a person fails to apply for a license or fails to purchase a

preference point for two (2) consecutive years, all preference points will beautomatically deleted from the person’s record. Preference points earnedor purchased during 2011 are not available for use in the 2011 limited quotadrawings. They will be available for use in the 2012 limited quota drawings.

Once an applicant has successfully drawn a Moose or Bighorn Sheeplicense,ortheapplicant’srstchoiceforaFullPriceElk,DeerorAntelope

license, all preference points will be deleted for the species drawn. In thecaseof MooseorBighornSheep,thepersonisrequiredtowaitve(5)years before again applying for a license or purchasing a preference point

(refer to section 2(d)).

Preference points shall not be restored when an applicant causes more

than one customer record to be generated, due to the following:

1. Adifferentsportspersonidenticationnumberwasgivenontheapplication.

2. Adifferentsportspersonidenticationnumberwasgeneratedbecausethesportspersonnumbereldontheapplicationwasleftblank.

3. Adifferentlastnameorrstnamewasusedbytheapplicant.

Such circumstances cause preference points to be accumulated underdifferentsportspersonidenticationnumbersandultimatelydeletedforfailuretoapplyunderthesamesportspersonidenticationnumber.Exceptions may be made for a name change because of marriage or

divorce.

If you have any questions, please call (307) 777-4600 or go to the WGFD website where the difference between preFerence point only

purchases and preFerence point options with license applications is

further explained.




Preferece Poits for Moose ad Bighor Sheep

All applicants for a Moose or Bighorn Sheep license will participate

in the preference point draw. Preference point fees of $75.00 for Mooseand $100.00 for Bighorn Sheep will be deducted from the license refundif the license is not drawn. (The total refund for a Moose license will be

$1,327.00. The refund for a Bighorn Sheep license will be $2,152.00). If you don’t participate in the license draw or if your application is rejectedfor any reason, you may purchase a preference point during the preferencepoint only application period (July 1 – Sept. 30). The price is $75.00 for

Moose and $100.00 for Bighorn Sheep.

Preferece Poits for Elk, Deer ad Atelope

Applicants for Full Price Elk, Deer and Antelope licenses are

given the option of accumulating a preference point. By checking thepreference point fee option and remitting the proper fee(s), the applicant will accumulate a preference point if unsuccessful in drawing a Full Price

licenseasarstchoice.However,anapplicantwhodrawsaFullPricelicense as a second or third choice will retain all accumulated preferencepoints and also earn an additional point. DRAWING A LICENSE AS A

SECOND OR THIRD CHOICE DOES NOT CAUSE PREFERENCEPOINTS TO BE DELETED FROM YOUR ACCOUNT. For party applications, all of the applicants’ preference point totals will be averagedto determine the preference point ranking in the preference point drawing.

If youdidnotreceiveyourrstchoiceElk,DeerorAntelopelicenseorapreference point during the initial draw period and are eligible to purchase aFull Price Leftover Elk, Deer or Antelope license, you may also purchase a

preference point during the preference point only application period. Applicants who elect not to check the preference point fee option will

participate in the draw based on the number of preference points, if any,previously accumulated, but will not earn an additional preference pointif unsuccessful in the drawing. However, if an applicant does not check

the preference point fee option, purchase preference points or purchase alicense and remit the proper fee for two consecutive years, all accumulatedpreference points will be deleted from the applicant’s account.

There is no preference point draw for Reduced Price Cow/Calf orReduced Price Doe/Fawn licenses. Applicants for Reduced Price licenses

do not lose their preference points if successful in the Reduced Price draw,nor do they accumulate preference points if they are unsuccessful drawing these license types.

If you select the preference point fee option, the fee you must remit

with your application for a regular Full Price Elk license, is $641.00 ($14.00application fee, $577.00 license fee and $50.00 preference point fee). Thefee to be remitted with a regular Full Price Deer license is $366.00 ($14.00application fee, $312.00 license fee and $40.00 preference point fee). The

fee to be remitted with a regular Full Price Antelope license is $316.00($14.00 application fee, $272.00 license fee and $30.00 preference pointfee). If you don’t participate in the Full Price license draw or if your

application is rejected for any reason, you may purchase a preference pointduring the preference point only application period. The price is $50.00for Elk, $40.00 for Deer and $30.00 for Antelope (youth price is $10.00 for

each species).

Some suggestions when applying for licenses with the preference

point option: To maintain your preference points, do not apply for aneasy-to-drawareaasyourrstchoice.If youdoandaresuccessful,then

all of your accumulated points will be deleted and the odds of drawing alicense in a hard-to-draw area will be diminished for several years until youbuild up preference points again. If you desire to hunt more often withoutsacricingyourpreferencepoints,continuetoapplyforyourpreferred

(hard-to-draw)areaasarstchoiceandapplyforeasy-to-drawareasasyour second choice. By reviewing the random draw odds from previousyears,youcanndhuntareaswithgoododdsof drawingalicenseasa

second and possibly a third choice. (Select “Game and Fish Home Page,”“hunting,” and “drawing odds” at the WGFD website). License types withzero percent (0%) drawing odds are not available as second or third choices.

On the other hand, it is near certain you will draw a license in an area with100% odds listed for the second choice draw. However, be advised thatdrawing odds can and do change from year to year as applicants shift their

number to apply for a license or participate in limited quota drawings.

a recreational license to be recorded on the application. The Act does notrequire the social security number be printed on the face of the license, but




does require the number be kept on le at the agency. This provision of the act is to allow for the matching of child support obligors with licenseholders.

The State of Wyoming, Department of Family Services, in responseto a request from the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, has led with

the Departmant of Health and Human Services for an exemption to only capture the last four (4) digits of the social security number, instead of theentire number, to comply with the federal requirement to provide the social

security number of a hunting and shing license purchaser. At the time of publication of the 2011 Hunting Information and Application booklet, aresponse to this request has not been received. Therefore, all information

and application forms included in this publication have the full social security number indicated and required. Please check the WGFD websiteprior to submitting your application, for the status of this exemption request and the current requirement to provide either your full social security number or only the last four (4) digits.

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department will not print the socialsecurity number on any license document. It will not be accessible on any Department internet license application or sale system. Any uses of the

social security number will be limited to the last four (4) digits. The Depart-ment will not disclose the social security number to any entity, except to theDepartment of Family Services, as required for child support enforcement.

The sportsperson identication number will continue to be the numberprinted on licenses or refunds, not the social security number.

Individuals who do not have a social security number will be required

to provide an alternate identication number as follows:

Legal aliens holding a green card will be required to provide their Tax Identication Number (TIN).

International foreign visitors will be required to provide theirPassport Identication Number.

A party is a group of hunters who apply for hunting licenses for the

same species, area and type, with expectation of receiving the samedrawing results. All applicants in a party are assigned the same randomnumber; therefore, they receive the same drawing results. Whereas,

applicants not in a party are assigned individual random numbers.

Applying as a party does not increase the drawing odds. All applicationsand fees must be in the same envelope and the party block must be

properly completed. a ll party applicatioNs for wHicH tHe party block

d. Chronic Wasting Disease Information. Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD)is a brain disease of Deer, Elk and Moose (cervids). The Wyoming Game

and Fish Department will be collecting tissue samples at selected check stations and meat processing facilities during the 2011 hunting season tomonitor disease prevalence. Hunter participation is voluntary. Sampling and

testing procedures do not provide overall quality assurance for individualcarcasses.Hunterswhoseanimalstestpositivewillbenotiedbymailandthose hunters may dispose of that meat without violating laws concerning

waste of game meat. License fees, game processing fees or other incidentalexpenses will not be refunded and replacement licenses will not be issued.

Hunterswhoseanimalsdonottestpositivewillnotbenotied.Alltestresults can be obtained on the WGFD website or by calling (307) 777-4600.It may take up to 3 weeks to complete a test. Hunters wishing to receiveresults within 2 weeks, or who wish to have their animal tested outside

the Department’s surveillance program, may have an animal tested at the Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory (1174 Snowy Range Road, Laramie, WY 82070; (307) 742-6638) for a fee. Look for more information aboutCWD in the 2011 Big Game regulations.

CurrentscienticknowledgesuggeststhatCWDprionsareprimarily

found in tissues of the central nervous system (e.g., brain and spinal cord)and lymphatic system (e.g., tonsils, lymph nodes and spleen) of CWD-infectedDeerandElk.However,researchhasalsoidentiedothertissues with some, most likely small, concentrations of the CWD prion. These

tissues include heart tissue, eye tissue and skeletal muscle tissue.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) hasdetermined that “the lack of evidence of a link between CWD transmissionand unusual cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, despite several

epidemiological investigations, suggest that the risk, if any, of transmissionof CWD to humans is low.” However, the CDC and the World HealthOrganization recommend that animals that have tested positive for CWDnot be consumed by humans.

TohelpminimizeexposuretoCWD,Wyomingpublichealthofcials

and the Wyoming Game and Fish Department recommend taking thefollowing precautions when handling cervid carcasses harvested in areas where CWD occurs: Avoid eating any animal that is obviously ill. Wear

rubberorlatexgloveswhenelddressing.Minimizehandlingof brainand spinal tissues and wash hands afterward. When butchering, bone out allmeat. For additional information, please visit the WGFD website or call(307) 777-4600.

e. Where Chronic Wasting Disease is Found in Wyoming: CWD is found in

multiple hunt areas in Wyoming and the disease is found in new hunt areasevery year. For an up-to-date list of the big game hunt areas where CWDhas been detected, visit the WGFD website or call (307) 777-4600.

chronic w asting disease c arcass transportation and disposal

r egulation: Recent research indicates that intact carcasses of cervids that

died from CWD may spread the disease to healthy cervids. To minimizethis possibility, a regulation has been enacted to control the transportationand disposal of cervids potentially infected with CWD. Resident and

nonresident hunters who take a Deer, Elk or Moose from any hunt area in Wyoming must ensure that the head and all portions of the spinal columnareeitherleftatthesiteofthekillordisposedof inanapprovedlandll.

Evidence of sex and species are required in accordance with the provisions

Frequently Asked QuestionsQuestion: Can I apply for both a license and apreference point for moose and/or

bighorn sheep?

Question: Can I apply for both a license and apreference point for elk , deer and/or

a ntelope?

Question: Do I have a better chance of being

successful by applying as a single applicantor a party applicant?

Question: How can I apply risk-free for Reduced

Price licenses in the initial draw?

Question: What is the difference between a Full Price

Antlerless Elk license and a Reduced PriceCow/Calf Elk license?

Question: What is the difference between a Full

Price Special Elk, Deer or Antelopelicense and a Regular Full Price license?

Question:

Can a youth applicant apply in a party of Special Elk, Deer or Antelope?

Question:

Can an applicant apply for both a FullPrice Regular license and a Full PriceSpecial license?

Answer: No. You have to make the decision to apply for the drawing for the issuance of a license or make thedecision to not be in the drawing this year, but rather to just earn a point. However, if you apply for a license

and are unsuccessful in the drawing, you will earn a preference point.

Answer: You have three options. Option 1: You can apply for a license with a preference point option with the

opportunity to earn a preference point. You will submit the preference point fee along with your license feeand application fee. If you are successful on your second or third choice hunt area, you will earn a

preferencepoint.Ifyouaresuccessfulonyourrstchoice,youwillnotearnapreferencepointandwillreceive a refund of your preference point fee. Option 2: You can apply for a license only with no desire toearn a preference point. You will not earn a preference point. You submit your license fee and applicationfee only. Option 3: From July 1 - Sept. 30, you can apply for a preference point only with no desire to be

in the Option 1 or Option 2 drawing for a license. You submit the preference point fee only. You may notselect Option 1 and Option 3 in the same year if you have earned a preference point or if you have drawnyourrstchoicelicenseintheinitialdrawing.

Answer: Your chances are the same whether you apply as an individual or in a party. However, the odds of all

membersof apartybeingsuccessfularesignicantlybetterif theyapplyasapartyratherthanindividuals.

Answer:Many applicants wait to see if they draw a Full Price Elk, Deer or Antelope license, then attempt to purchase

a Reduced Price license using the WGFD website or at automated license selling agents, rather than apply for a Reduced Price license in the initial drawing. These applicants do not want to risk drawing a Reduced

Price license without drawing their corresponding Full Price license. Wait no more! If you apply for a FullPrice Elk, Deer or Antelope license and want to apply for up to two (2) Reduced Price Doe/Fawn Deer,Reduced Price Doe/Fawn Antelope or one (1) Reduced Price Cow/Calf Elk license without risk, then check

the withdrawal block on Forms 17, 18 and 19 for the applicable Reduced Price license(s). This will ensurethat if you are unsuccessful in the Full Price license drawing(s), you will be withdrawn from the ReducedPrice license drawing(s).

Answer:

Biologically, these are the same animal. The price is the difference. The term Antlerless Elk is used toidentify the Full Price license and the term Cow/Calf Elk is used to identify the Reduced Price license. Onpage9youwillndinformationonReducedPriceCow/CalfElklicenses.HuntareasthathaveReduced

Price Cow/Calf Elk licenses are listed on page 19. Do not confuse these licenses with the Full Price Antlerless Elk licenses listed on pages 17 and 18. Not all hunt areas have Reduced Price licenses; however,some areas have both Full Price Antlerless Elk licenses and Reduced Price Cow/Calf Elk licenses. A person

may apply for and receive one Reduced Price Cow/Calf Elk license (Form 17) and one Full Price Elk license(Form 17) in the same year. You do not have to have a Full Price license to apply for a Reduced Price license.However, a person may not apply for and/or receive two (2) Full Price Elk licenses.

Answer:By paying the additional $480.00 for Elk or $240.00 for Deer and/or Antelope, the applicant can participate

in a separate random drawing. Wyoming Statute allocates 40 percent of the available Nonresident Elk, 40percent of the available Nonresident Antelope and 40 percent of the available Nonresident Deer licensesto the applicants who pay the higher price. The expectation behind this is to increase drawing odds due to

fewer applicants paying the higher price. However, this is not always the case. To evaluate drawing odds fromthe previous year, an applicant can purchase a demand index summary or view the information free on the WGFD website. Odds can vary substantially year to year. There is no guarantee of success in the drawing

for special licenses. Please call 800-548-9453 to purchase a Demand Index.

Answer

Yes, but the youth applicant must pay the Full Price Special license fee: Elk ($1,071.00), Deer ($566.00) or Antelope ($526.00).

which the Commission did not authorize licenses, the license fee will berefunded, but the application fee will not be refunded.

Emergency Season Closures:Big Game hunting seasons may be closed due to an emergency upon

an emergency closure to shorten the season in any hunt area at any time if a harvest quota is reached or if an emergency arises warranting the closure.Should a closure become necessary, no refunds will be given for unused

ApplicationDisqualication:

Read instructions carefully. Wyoming Game and Fish Commissionregulations require all application forms to be accurately completedincluding the applicant’s name, social security number, physical address,

mailing address if different than the physical address, date of birth, physicaldescription (height, weight, eyes, hair and sex) and desired valid hunting licensespecications.Failuretocompleteorsubmitformscorrectlyor

submitting the wrong amount of money may disqualify an application. Applicantsshallbedisqualiedfromparticipatingindrawingsorintheawarding of preference points if the applicant’s privilege to purchase or

receive any hunting license has been suspended by a court order or the Wildlife Violator Compact. See “Completed Application” on page 46.

HuntAreaswithDifcultPublicAccess:Hunt areas marked with an asterisk(*) on the tentative hunting season

information charts are predominantly private lands or have inaccessible orlimited access to public lands. If you are considering applying for a licensein any of these hunt areas, you are advised to obtain landowner permissionprior to making application for a license. Obtaining permission to hunt

afteryoureceivealicenseisoftendifcultorimpossible.Youmayhuntlegally accessible public lands within these hunt areas, but often such landsare in small parcels, receive heavy hunting pressure and may not sustain the

species of wildlife you desire to hunt. In addition, wildlife abundance and

distribution are often greater on the private land portions of these areas. The inability to secure a place to hunt is not cause for a license refund or

exchange of license for another hunt area. For information on access toprivate lands, see the WGFD website. There are numerous walk-in andhunter management areas that allow free access, but hunters should check

rsttodeterminetheiravailabilityintheareaandforthespeciestheywishto hunt.

Permission for Access: Approximately half of Wyoming is private land. Some of the public

lands can only be reached by crossing private land. To cross private lands,

permission must be obtained from landowners. Landowners have theright to control access to their lands or charge a fee for access. Writtenpermission or other proof of permission for access is required before one

can hunt on private land. The following list should help minimize accessproblems:

1. Be familiar with the land ownership before applying for a license.

2. Make hunting arrangements with the landowner in advance of

applying for a license.

3. Avoid the season opening day. (Many landowners are full on opening day, but have vacancies later in the season.)

4. Carry a good map. (Maps showing public and private lands areavailable. It is a good idea to check with local land managementagencies to see if land sales have changed the status of lands in your

hunt area. Information for ordering maps is on page 42.)

5. Know where you are. Wyoming law does not require landowners to

post their property. It is the hunter’s responsibility to know if the landis public or private.

6. Howtondlandowners.TheWyomingGameandFishDepartment

does not keep a comprehensive list of all landowners in Wyoming.Lists of landowners in predominantly private land areas are sometimes

availablefromRegionalOfcesorGameandFishHeadquartersinCheyenne. In addition, some Chambers of Commerce may be able toadvise you of landowner names in surrounding hunt areas.

7. Some private land is open for public access through either Walk-in Areas or Hunter Management Area programs. Information about

applying for Hunter Management Area Permits can be obtained fromthe WGFD website.
