Licenses
Wyoming Game and Fish Department has not offered a deer license in Hunt Area 143 in any draw we hold. It has a page because the agency still publishes harvest for it; the Wyoming deer hunts that are on offer are drawn elsewhere.

What Wyoming Game and Fish Department publishes after each season, for everyone who hunted the area: harvest statistics, not draw odds. Wyoming's figures are estimates from a voluntary post-season survey of license holders, extrapolated to every license issued — not a count of animals checked in.

About These Numbers
Under five tags a percentage carries a *, because one applicant either way swings it. A dash means the agency did not publish the number, and a date marked expected is last cycle's schedule rolled forward. How we compute these.
