This is something I can get onboard with.

As a Wyo resident, I agree that this graph is embarrassing. We need to increase the resident funding percentage. First, and only step, towards that goal should be the elimination of all NR license sales. Mission accomplished!

Be honest, on purpose or accidently? We've all been in that situation before and wondered, What if I...

My anecdotal observations from my neck of the woods. Over the last several years I have seen a huge uptick in folks out looking for sheds on the mine I work at in southwestern Wyoming. Folks are largely picking up elk sheds around here with the occasional deer shed. Prior 4-5 years, every...

We also have limits on the number of M’s in the word amount.

A couple of pics explain why all the mice and squirrels have such weak bones around Casper and Laramie.

Good Lord!

I know more than one resident sheep hunter that tried to tackle those wilderness areas around YS by themselves only to call on the services of an outfitter later in the season after finding out those areas are no joke.

Wilderness rule was detrimental to resident general elk hunters prior to the removal of the 7250 cap. It artificially congregates NR gen hunters to non-wilderness gen areas. Now that the gloves are off on NR gen tags, G&F would just propose more NR gen tags if they were able to spread out more.

The one species that the Wilderness rule is a burden, IMO, is bighorn. That really cuts down on options for the NR hunter. But in reality, the vast majority of folks hunting bighorn would really be served well by using an Outfitter especially in those wilderness areas. This goes for residents...

Might be just the bargaining chip folks are looking for to get what they desire.

Most of my emails to Wyo Legislators get no response. A few will consistantly reply but most are crickets. Best way for me has been to speak to them face-to-face. I am on a couple of Committees and Boards that these folks want to speak with and get the support of. Talking to them about my...

If NR's spent one tenth of the time they spend crying about the Wilderness rule on internet forums, on actually trying to get this law overturned they might be succesful. But they wont! They will continue to wait for someone else to do it. They might donate to the cause if some hapless dude...

If you were hunting in a non-wilderness area and your friend left half his elk in the field, would you get a ticket for wanton waste? The obligation for meat retrieval is on the licensed hunter not the resident guide. Might be different for a paid guide or mentor hunter situation, that I am...
