Non Resident Tag Allotment

[cycloneshooter]

Curious how Wyoming determines the TOTAL number of NR tags for a particular antelope unit?

If there a rule/equation they use to determine this?

I understand that after the NR quota is determine, 75% to the PP pool, 25% to the random draw pool.
Of the 75% PP pool, 40% of that goes to those applying at the higher special tag price level.

I am just curious, if a unit has a total quota of 50 for example, how many of the 50 are R vs NR?

I don't remember if it's 20 or 25% are reserved for nonresidents in the initial draw but in reality 51% of the antelope tags in 2015 were sold to nonresidents.

What I would do it look at draw odds last year for a hunt with 50 tags and you can see how they were split.

In Wyoming nonresidents are not reserved any big game tags. Wyoming by state law doesn't have to sell a single big game license to nonresidents. By state law a percentage (depending which species) of all big game licenses are specifically reserved for residents and the state generally sells every licenses it legally can to non residents. This is of course is in the first draw. Any unsold licenses after the first draw can be sold to anybody resident or nonresident the only difference is the price. That is why you see the varying percentage of tags in different areas for the same species.

Wyoming allocates an initial 20% of the total to NR for Antelope. The additional tags come from the resident side, after their first draw.
By Statute, they allocate 7,250 full price Elk Tags to NR.

WESTRIVER is right, and so is WapitiBob.

There is no mandate/statute/regulation to give NR a single LQ tag in Wyoming, only regulation/statute to give a minimum LQ tag allotment percentage to Residents.

Currently the Commission is following minimum statutory/regulatory requirement for Resident allocation, so NR get 20% of pronghorn tags.
