The Game and Fish Department began mailing application booklets recently to the 115,000 nonresidents who applied for big game licenses either in 2001 or 2000 and to other prospective hunters who have requested applications.

The major change in this booklet is the addition of nonresident deer region T in the southeast corner of Wyoming.

The nonresident application period is January 1 - 31 for elk, January 1 - February 28 for moose, bighorn sheep and mountain goat, and January 1 - March 15 for deer and antelope.

Nonresident hunters can get a booklet by contacting: Wyoming Game and Fish Department, 5400 Bishop Blvd., Cheyenne, WY 82006; (307) 777-4600. Outfitters can purchase booklets by the case at the same address.
