proposed numbers and dates are up on the public comment section

Quite a few increases following a bad winter year- surprising to me. Guessing they adjust some of them down before the draw.

Not right that Wyoming game and fish allows the non resident draws before they release the proposed tags.

These are increases from the Feb. recommendations when the winter had been really rough. I think they were pleased with how the last month went. It would be good to compare these numbers with last year.

Regions E, F, G and H are all down for general hunts, even from the Feb #s. For limited hunts, there are more increases from Feb. than decreases.

Looks like some of the seasons shortened up tho.

Some of the seasons shortened.

Remember, these are only recommendations, the public hearings may have a lot to do with the final #s. Residents, who know what this winter was like, may not be happy with these recommendations.

And some non-residents like myself. Seeing pretty big increases in a few deer areas I hunt that I think may hurt population and quality. On the other hand, I like seeing a few more antelope doe tags- maybe I can actually draw one of them.

I notice the proposed open date for area I entered is on a Sunday. Is it normal to start a season on Sunday? It really does not matter to me, but I figure locals would like a Saturday opener.

I know a lot of the seasons begin on October 1st or 15th every year, regardless of which day it falls on. This year both of those dates just happen to be on a Sunday.
