Wyoming Antelope Type 1 vs Type 2 hunt?
I have read through the excellent "sticky post" on Wyoming Antelope hunting. I don't think I saw my question answered there, so I post here.
There are different Wyoming antelope hunt types. I can generally understand the differences between the types, but I do NOT understand the difference between a Type 1 license and a Type 2 license. I see that in 2020 unit 23 offered 177 type 1 permits and 1179 type 2 permits; unit 24 offered 156 type 1 permits and 366 type 2 permits; unit 29 offered 12 type 1 permits and 320 type 2 permits. I notice that 3+ preference points were required to draw a type 1 permit in unit 29 but basically 0 points were required to draw a type 2 permit in unit 29.
What's the deal? What is the difference between type 1 and type 2 permits? Are there different season dates? Maybe the type 1 permit is for the front end of the season and gives trophy hunters best odds at taking big bucks while the type 2 permit is later and hence less likely to have a good shot at the trophy bucks?

IF I remember correctly.... And this is A big if... I'd call wyo directly.
Type 2 licences are limited somehow. Either by dates or location I.E. good in unit 23 south of such and such a road.
It's a limited tag.
That's by my memory, which isn't very good. I'm at deer camp and can't look at my antelope notes at home.
