Wondering about WY leftover draw

[freddogs]

After work the other day, I called my hunting partner who is retired. He tried to get us leftover 63-2 tags. He got online at 8:02 and all 163 tags were gone. What did he do wrong? Were the tags sold earlier or by some other method we don't know about? Any one know?
We started calling some land owners in other zones but it sounds like the drought is hitting hard. Some ranchers reported seeing some antelope dyoff from drought/disease/heat or something. We are thinking of cancelling antelope hunting for this year.

Those tags I believe go on sale on July 10 and usually are gone the same day.

My partner tried to get the tags on July 10th and they were gone 2 minutes after the website opened.

The word from wy G & f was the 63-2 tags were gone @ 12 seconds past 8 am. I know they weren't there @ 30 seconds.

I got on right at 8:00am and picked up two of the 63-2 tags for myself and a buddy. Checked to see if any were left about 7-8 minutes later out of curiosity, and they were gone.
