WYOMING — First come, first serve leftover licenses for antelope, elk and deer opens at 8 a.m. on July 12. Licenses can be purchased on the Wyoming Game and FIsh Department (WGFD) website, at regional offices and at the WGFD headquarters in Cheyenne.

The over-the-counter licenses represent the remaining antelope, elk and deer licenses following the leftover draw, which ran from June 19 to23. Leftover draw results were released last week.

“Over-the-counter license availability changes each year based on what hunters applied for and received in the initial and leftover draws,” said Jennifer Doering, Game and Fish license section manager.

Residents and non-residents are eligible to purchase the remaining licenses but WGFD is encouraging people to pay close attention to the hunt area and license type.

“The majority of these licenses are in hunt areas in which it may be difficult to obtain access. We encourage hunters to seek permission to hunt prior to purchasing an over-the-counter license,” Doering said. 

The leftover license availability list is posted on the Game and Fish website
