LAST EDITED ON May-31-18 AT 11:56AM (MST)[p]The explanation in the job completion reports states that the season in the northerly units (143-145) closes earlier to protect bucks from being vulnerable to harvest during migration. I just read that today while trying to figure out why Wyoming still tries to justify unlimited general tags for residents in the area.
Interesting, they close earlier, but also open much earlier. I think an argument could be made that any benefit gained from closing earlier is negated by opening so early. I would think a lot of high country bucks are still coming out of their summer patterns on 9/15, making them susceptible to rifle hunting.

Another way you could find out why Wyoming still allows unlimited general resident tags would be to attend or watch the Commission meetings or attend season setting meetings where our wildlife professionals explain it.

Region G posts on MM consist on two different concepts. It is either NR complaining that there is a resident hunter behind every tree, residents should be under a limited quota, and it just isn't what it use to be because all the deer are dead from the winter of 2016.
Or they are asking max point holders to share points. Offering scouting packages for the opportunity, or buying someones license to put in with them.
I certainly don't get how these can both be true.

Really more of a mule deer issue. Colorado had problems with population and pressure. They went to fully limited deer tags in the late 90s and deer bounced back within 5 years and continue to do well even after tough winters with tag/pressure adjustments.

LAST EDITED ON May-31-18 AT 10:52PM (MST)[p]Western Wyoming deer will bounce back. A lot of area 135 is easier to access (more roads) and that is why it doesn't open until October.[font face="verdana" color="green"]

Deepcolor, no at the time of my original post I didn't have an opinion (or motive, agenda, or knowledge of what the reason was). I have never hunted G, but am interested in hunting it someday. I thought it was unusual that neighboring sub units within a region would have different season dates. I was curious what the rationale for that was. I didn't know if it was something to do with population densities or access or what.
The explanation BluffGruff found in the reports seemed flawed, and I gave a reason for why it "could be" flawed. Jake Swensen's answer made a little more sense to me. Maybe it is a little bit of both answers.
I personally love the idea of hunting early season bucks in the high country with a gun.

The biologists make recommendations to achieve their goals, and I literally copied what they said in the JCRs.
September 15th is about the end of the velvet stage, at which point deer head below treeline. Basically, the biologists want opportunity, without sacrificing numbers, so they operate the seasons when they feel like mature deer are least vulnerable.

Cheater....you're better off hunting G sooner than later. The deer there get pounded by residents. Granted there's lots of habitat and acreage to hunt.
But between the hype of region G on this website and others, founders scouting service, unlimited resident tags, resident youth harvesting does, future harsh winters, you better consider sooner than later.
Sure there are a lot mature bucks there.
But from all the residents that I've talked to over the years, the number of deer are steadily declining.
How dare some hunters (resident or nonresident) want limited resident tags to help region G become the best place in the country to hunt the biggest mule deer.

Could be like Rio Arriba with some restraint...

I think I'll make sure my wife and daughter shoot twin 200" deer in the high country of G or H in a couple years just to stick it to you. They are both tough as nails...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-06-18 AT 00:50AM (MST)[p]Bugleb and I take my kids and wife hunting in the high country all the time. 135 in my opinion is a throwaway unit. Hunt it if you don't get your deer in the high country. 135 is a notch better than region K, but not by much.
