    First I would like to offically thank DRUSS and Cntryep for providing information that helped us with our antelope hunt in our buck unit.

    Wyoming Application Strategy

    Ok Wyoming Experts, If I am applying to draw an antelop buck tag can I apply for a doe tag and draw it too? Or if I draw my 1st choice buck tag is that where the process stops? I was speaking to a game warden last night, thought I knew the answer, but now I am confused.
