Ask Game and Fish-I’m applying for a limited quota license in January. How will I get my refund in the spring if I don’t draw?

Ask Wyoming Game and Fish

Jennifer Doering, License Section Manager, is answering this week's question.

Q: Jennifer, I’m applying for a limited quota license in January. How will I get my refund in thespring if I don’t draw?

A: Thanks for your interest in hunting in Wyoming in 2016. Game and Fish is working to simplify the refund process for hunters who are unsuccessful in the limited quota drawings.

This new method will mean that unsuccessful applicants will no longer receive refund warrants (a check from the State Auditor). Instead a credit will be applied back to the credit card that was used for the submission of the online application. This new approach should save time and money.

For the new process, please ensure the credit card used has an expiration date valid through the time period in which the drawing will be conducted. The last drawings are done in June. Game and Fish will issue refund warrants when the credit card is no longer valid for processing a credit back to the card.

Tentative draw results for nonresident elk and spring turkey will be available beginning Feb. 25, 2016.

 

With any Ask Game and Fish question please consult the 2015 hunting regulations for more specific information.
