Why do they take so long? Yeah, I know. First world problems and quit being a whiner. But seriously…

The hunt codes and tag numbers for each are approved at the May CPW hearing. ant draw tags till that is dome. Add in doing the draw, data quality assurance and there you have it, late May results.

The Sheep and Goat hunts and tag numbers for are approved separate and earlier that Moose, elk, deer, antelope and bear, so results come out earlier.

Please don’t bring logic into this and just let us vent

I knew there was an answer out there somewhere. Thanks @Khunter

That part can be less than 48 hours. Once season structure and tag allocations are set and ready for the draw, there is no excuse why it isn't being done within 48 hours. They should probably just look to see what SD does as they rarely take over 48 hours after the application deadline to release the results. If they aren't doing this, the only excuse I can think of at this point is political

Wyoming nonresident elk says "hold my beer". Not sure anyone else takes even half as long.

On the plus side, NR's are now able to apply for and receive tags for new commission approved elk hunting opportunities. In the past 100% of those tags went to residents only the first year they were approved.

SD is probably letting some things slide. In talking to AZ draw folks, they need to make sure people didn't apply twice, that those who did apply haven't lost their hunting privileges in states that are in the compact, child support laws, ect. Yes maybe all those can be done in a week or two but when they screw up all hunters throw them under the bus and say they don't know how to do their job. When they take their time and make sure it comes out right people still say they don't know what they are doing. Even Yellowstone has bad reviews.
