Wyoming Goes To Regions for NR Elk Tags

By Todd Helms

Well the grapevine banter about Wyoming moving to “Regions” for Non-Resident General Elk tags is no longer scuttlebutt. Last week Wyoming Game and Fish released “Know before you apply: Nonresident elk changes for 2024” and revealed the move to regions for general non-resident elk tags. 

In short, the WYGFD created three regions of general elk units: Eastern, Southern and Western. Non-resident general elk applicants must apply for a region and if successfully drawn will be limited to hunting within that region instead of having the ability to hunt any general area in the state. If I had to guess, I’d bet that in the years to come these regions will be shrunk into subregions as the precedent has now been set. 

Non-resident General Elk License Quotas have been set as follows: Eastern Region – 500, Southern Region – 1050, Western Region – 2775. 

This change DOES NOT affect general resident tags. To read more visit the link below. 

What’s your take – was this a good move by WYGFD?
