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?
Isn’t a conservation stamp required before applying for draws in WY? It is as close as they have to a hunting ‘license’.
I have a lifetime conservation stamp there so I have never really paid attention to if it is a prerequisite to apply for draws or not…as I haven’t needed to buy one in several years.
The conservation stamp is not required for the application but is required for the hunt.
