Tag in wrong unit

[#1antler]

After waiting years to draw my coveted antelope tags in Wyoming, I was excited to see I was successful this year. Turns out it was a second choice then I was horrified to see it was in a unit I must have entered incorrectly. Not a hunt I want to invest s t in and had never applied for in since putting in for draw. Question is does Wyoming have a process to return tag like Colorado has. I've tried I ed calling them but phone line is always busy.

Your second choice doesn't use any preference points. I'd just go hunt the tag.

The unit I drew appears to be very marginal for decent antelope. Over 500 buck tags and 500 doe tags. Not a $600.00 hunt

I do not believe you can return the tag for a refund just because you do not want it.

I say go regardless, if I've learned anything it's that you never know what you can take away from a hunt unless you actually go and do it. Some of the less desirable tags/hunts I've had have turned into the most special and memorable hunts I've been on in my life and in hind sight they were worth much more than the price of admission.

My $0.02

Hunt. 1000 tags means there must be antelope. Find a nice one.

Looks like I bought an antelope tag in unit 21

Piles of public land with access. I'm jealous.

Doh.

That can easily be a very fun hunt! Do a little homework, make some calls, go in confident, no doubt you'll have an enjoyable hunt! Dude, you're settin' good, you get to keep your points and still chase em, just remember to have fun!

You can also buy doe/fawn whitetail tags for some extra shooting opportunity

You can’t return the tag but I say, get out there have fun and bag yourself a beautiful goat!

You sure about that? Sure it has public land on the western side of the unit, which is more mule deer area than antelope. I've hunted area 21 two years in a row. The OP can send me a PM and I'll help all I can.

There are nice antelope in every unit in Wyoming. I shot an 82 in a non desirable unit growing up... I would hunt it.

It is now. Just hunt it, you have the tag paid for. Its all upside from here..

Sure looks like it to me. But my glass is always half full.

Thanks everybody for all the encouragement and help!!

That’s a bummer but I’d go anyways, you might be suprised. Maybe not, but it will be better than not hunting.
