Are you looking to hunt Wyoming this year? If so, it should be a good season!

If you are considering a hunt in Wyoming for this fall, get ready to submit your application and look to eastern Wyoming.  The deadline to apply for elk, deer and antelope is May 31.  Wyoming Game and Fish staffers are prediciting this year to be a great season for elk, deer and antelope especially in the eastern part of the state.  Eastern Wyoming has quite a bit of private lands but there are numerous opportunities for hunters to gain access to hunting land.  Just make sure you do your research beforehand.  Good population increases of big game have also allowed for increased license quotas.  So, if you are looking for a western hunt, try Wyoming this year!
