    Chapter 5, Antelope Hunting Seasons At the time of this filing, the 2020 antelope harvest information is not yet available to the Department. Individual hunt area regular hunting season dates, special archery hunting season dates, hunt area limitations, license types and license quotas may be modified after harvest data has been evaluated. Any additional proposed changes to regular hunting season dates, special archery hunting season dates, hunt area limitations, numbers of limited quota licenses, license types, hunt area boundaries or modifications to other hunting provisions shall be made available for public comment on the Department website. An updated draft of 2021antelope hunting season proposals will also be posted to the Department website during the later portion of the public comment period. Section 4, edits have been proposed to further clarify antelope hunting season provisions for persons who qualify for and are in possession of hunting season extension permits. During the 2020 hunting season, special archery season information was repositioned within this regulation and caused some confusion among hunting season extension permit holders. The edited language in this Section is meant to clarify when a hunting season extension permit is valid. Please scroll down to view the regulation or click the down arrow for the next page.

    STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR AN EMERGENCY RULE WYOMING GAME AND FISH COMMISSION CHAPTER 7 ELK HUNTING SEASONS An extended antlerless elk season in the Ferris and Seminoe Mountains requires an Emergency Chapter 7 Elk Hunting Seasons regulation due to acute concerns regarding habitat degradation and extremely limited forage availability to wildlife and livestock as a result of extreme drought and wildfires in 2012. Wyoming experienced severe drought this past summer, and the Seminoe and Ferris Mountain area was perhaps hardest hit. As a result, area cattle ranchers have had to adjust accordingly and ship their livestock several months early due to the lack of available forage throughout the area. Some ranchers have indicated they had never seen it this dry and resulting in so little forage for both livestock and wildlife. Due to current habitat conditions and an over objective elk population, landowners have requested the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (Department) extend the antlerless elk season from closing on November 30, 2012 to closing on January 31, 2013 for elk hunt areas 22 and 111. This additional two (2) month season extension is an attempt to reduce this elk population, while minimizing competition for remaining forage and potential damage to both wildlife habitats and hay meadows. Additionally, both the Seminoe and Ferris Mountains experienced large wildfires this summer. The fires burned over 12,000 acres of summer and winter range habitats in these areas. These fragile post burn recovery areas are very sensitive to overuse, especially where aspen regeneration is occurring. Due to poor overall habitat conditions in the area, there is a high potential to experience severe natural mortality to wildlife wintering in areas not suitable to sustain them.
