Hunting Lottery Held; Moose, Sheep and Mountain Goat, Bison Priority List
05/02/2003

CHEYENNE – The most pivotal day of a big game hunter’s year, and sometimes of his or her outdoor lifetime – license drawings for bighorn sheep, moose and mountain goat, plus the bison priority list -- was held April 25.
Licenses, refund checks and preference point and bison ranking letters were mailed May 2. License draw results were posted on the Game and Fish Department Web site April 30.
“With hunters knowing the outcome of this drawing in early May, they will have plenty of time to decide their elk, deer and antelope plans before the May 31 limited quota deadline for those species,” said Tom Rowe, Game and Fish Department license draw supervisor.
There are no leftover moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat licenses.
The G&F also conducted the computer ranking for the bison priority list. The higher the ranking, the more chance of being called to hunt a bison.
Rowe reminds unsuccessful moose and bighorn sheep applicants to look at their refund check stub to make sure the number of preference points listed is correct. Hunters who opted to buy a preference point will receive a letter in May listing their point total. If hunters think the preference point statement is incorrect, they should call the G&F at (307) 777-4600.
