How to read Wyoming's seasons
Hunt areas and draw tags come before the calendar
Wyoming organizes elk, deer, and antelope hunting by hunt area, with most tags — especially for nonresidents — allocated through draws. The season dates below only apply once you hold a tag for a specific area and type.
Confirm hunt-area boundaries, tag types, and application deadlines with the official Wyoming Game and Fish Department source.
We summarize official agency information and link to the source for verification. Regulations can change, and zone details matter. Always confirm final dates, bag limits, permits, and legal requirements with Wyoming Game & Fish before hunting.
