May. Hunters desiring this information beforehand can contact the Game and Fish headquarters in Cheyenne or any Game and Fish regional office. Probably the most significant change is in the reduction of antelope permits that will be down some 9,500 from the previous year. This reduction is largely due to drought situations that resulted in poor fawn production last spring and poor fawn survival through the summer and winter months. Resident landowners that want to hunt deer, elk or antelope are alerted that applications for landowner licenses must be submitted to local game wardens by May 15. To qualify for a landowner license, at least 160 contiguous acres must be owned and the land must have provided 2,000 animal use days in 2000 for the species being hunted.
Landowners can contact their local game warden for more information.
