Question:
Why aren’t there party applications for moose and bighorn sheep
applications?

Answer:
License quotas for moose and bighorn sheep are much smaller than elk, deer and antelope. Some hunt areas have as few as four sheep licenses and five moose licenses. With party size being as large as six, there is a possibility there wouldn’t be enough licenses available to satisfy a party application. Also, from a practical standpoint, there are not many hunters who are interested in going into an area and having to deal with the logistics of finding multiple legal sheep and/or hauling out multiple moose carcasses.

Question:
How many preference points does it take to draw a sheep
license?

Answer:
There are too many variables that affect the drawing to accurately predict exactly how many points it will take to be assured of a license. Drawings are determined by the numbers of licenses, applicants and preference points of applicants. Drawing success also varies by area as some areas receive more applicants than others. Since a hunter may apply for any area and still retain preference points, there is no reliable information on how many people will switch areas from year to year. Also, some applicants may enter the draw one year and then apply only for a point the next year… or vice versa. Due to all these reasons, predicting when a person will draw is extremely difficult. For what it’s worth, hunters can access previous years' drawing odds on the G&F web site gf.state.wy.us.

Question:
Does a lifetime license include tags like the Sportsman's Package?

Answer:
No, the lifetime license is just the license. Tags must be purchased separately. Residents with a lifetime license can get a Sportsman's Package at a discount or buy tags separately. Residents with a lifetime license can get a Sportsman's Package at a discount upon recertification at Fish and Game offices only. Lifetime licenses or recertifications are only available at Fish and Game offices.

Question:
I've lived in Idaho for more than six months, so I qualify for a resident hunting license. I showed my utility bills to the vendor but he wouldn't issue it because I still have my Iowa driver's license. Aren't my utility bills enough? They show I've been here 10 months.

Answer:
Only non-drivers — those who do not possess any driver's license — can use utility bills, rent receipts, or mortgage statements to prove residency for fishing and hunting purposes. Drivers must have a valid Idaho driver's license to prove residency.
