Only issue I have with non resident applications is that if you Don’t draw you’re stuck with a license. Each state NR license is goos $150+ So when I apply in 3 states and don’t draw, I’m stuck with them licenses for nothing. and close to 500$ down the drain. you do get the elk tag reimbursed in some states where you pay upfront but still. 3 Hunting licenses to nothing can be costly.. This probably keeps thousands of people away from applying, still sucks.
Not Wyoming, we have a license fee but no qualifying license requirement to apply.
So I don’t have to buy a hunting license to apply for a tag?
No, there is an application fee added, $15, that is not refunded if not drawn.
