So for the first time ever... the area I hunt Antelope in sold out within hours. All I have to say to the people making a run on tags: Hope you have fun getting onto the private property that makes up most of area 45.

On an unrelated subject, I just drew an Antelope tag.
Anyone familiar with area 45?
(Sorry, couldn't resist. [Coffee])
Funny
Oh and it's spelled AREA.

Seriously, sorry to hear you didn't draw your tag this year.
Better luck next year.
Maybe you can get a tag for a nearby area and still have a good season anyways. [Beer]
In general, tags for every species were cut this year.
out of the six guys I go with I'm the was one with success. like SA Friday said, very few tags.
I got my archery deer tag. [Coffee]
I was talking to my coworker and he said that they are gonna issue more tags this year due to the fires and lack of habitat for the animals
Any truth to that?
Dow reduced elk tags because the population is about where they want it.
I could see them possibly issuing more deer tags along the foot hills for mule deer because they may be pushed into more populated areas but getting permission will be the hard part.
I think more hunters have moved in the state, the people who couldn't afford to hunt before got preference points and now cashed them in, and more people are realizing the healthy meat hunting provides along with reduced cost due to food prices skyrocketing.
Another factor could be the combining of DOW and the parks. Horrible move IMO
I hope that they throw out some extra deer tags, I would love to get a young buck.Quote:

i haven't hunted in colorado for years, nebraska land owner tags are the way to go now....2 deer per 15$ tag is nice if you ask me lol

I got the same story that you have regarding family land in Colorado and no tags from a young gentleman at Sportsman's Warehouse, and that's what aimed me at Wyoming. This is my first year hunting in 40 years, and I missed this years draw application here in state, so shooting a couple of does a couple of hours away seems like a good way to get back into it. I want to try hunting upland and waterfowl, too. And shoot some coyotes and prairie dogs, should the opportunity present itself.Quote:

I've tried for three years to draw tags for the area I live in and I can't so I have to get tags for an area that's 6 hours from where I live. Go figure!
The leftover tag for doe antelope was for Wyoming.
My uncle invited me to tag along on hunts this year. He drew almost everything he put in for.
everyone has figured out how easy the Wy.online system is..... 2 years ago the area I hunt had tags for a week, this year they sold out in 40 min. just have to be able to get online at 8am the day they go on sale......Quote:

Not you, but i am always irritated that ranchers in Craig say bitch about the wildlife eating their fields but won't give permission to hunt or charge an arm and a leg to do so.
