I am new to research and I have been wondering as to when the big game hunting 2016 regulations for Colorado, Wyoming, and Idaho, will be coming out? I have accumulated a ton of data for 2015 and have pre-ordered the EHJ MRS book and I am eager to start breaking down some 2016 information. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Colorado will post in Late Jan to early Feb. Idaho in early Apr. Not sure when regulationss come out for WY, but tag allocations for the units don't come out with the regs. They come out in Early May. If you are applying for elk you will in go in blind as far as the number of tags in your unit that year.

WY NR app booklet will be out before the NR Elk draw. Quotas used for the WY NR Elk draw will be available the end of this month-first of January. They are not published.

They don't "come out" per se'. Adjustments are made to the prior years total qnty if required and the NR quota is calculated from that. They're not fond of handing it out so a phone call, public info request, and some $$ is required.
I believe the early NR Elk draw will be coming to an end. Statute requires Commission approval of the quotas and that's not happening for the NR Elk draw. Personally, I would like to see it moved later to coincide with the Antelope draw.
