Wyoming Hunting Information Seasons
Wyoming Hunting Seasons
Wyoming big game hunting seasons begin with archery, which is generally 30 days prior to the rifle opener. Antelope is usually the first season to come in. Unlike many other states there is not a separate season for muzzleloader hunters. To hunt the archery season a hunter must first draw the general or limited entry tag and then purchase an archery license. Wyoming is one of the few western states that allow hunters to use a crossbow during archery season. Exact season dates are generally set sometime in April.
Colorado Hunting Information
Colorado is one of the best western states for trophy mule deer hunting and has the largest population of elk in the west.
New Mexico Hunting Information
New Mexico is one of the top destinations for trophy Elk and Antelope hunting. Draw odds can be tough depending on the unit but landowner tags are also available for those who don't draw. Mule Deer are plentiful but generally of average size. Only a couple of units and reservations consistently produce big muleys.
Utah Hunting Information
Utah has recently been outstanding for trophy elk, but the best tags take many years to draw. Utah does have conservation tags available for purchase that allow hunters to bypass the drawing. Given the high demand for these premium tags prices can be high. In the past Utah has been a top trophy mule deer state but recently only a handful of units consistently produce B&C caliber deer.
