What he said. The accessible BLM and state ground in 84 ain't on Atlantic Rim. Been there a few times myself.

No public land unguided hunting is availible on Atlantic rim, area 84.

Gator, the Baggs hunt areas (82, 100) haven't gone to a draw or limited quota system as far as I know. At the last Baggs mule deer initiative meeting about a month ago, the WGFD was very clear that they are not going to implement a limited quota system for deer in the Baggs area.

Thanks guys, this is what I was hoping to hear.

Anyone have a good gunsmith that they can recommend in central and/or SE Wyoming? Looking for someone with good experience with feeding problems and improved cartridges, which can be delicate and touchy, not something for the local garage or basement tinkerer. The gentleman that I've used...

Geez you guys need to get a grip. It's about hunting, a recreational activity for goodness sake. Enough with the vindictive BS, it's disgusting. I'm truly sorry for your loss JM.

No one is hunting the Bolton unless they are one of the Anschutz higher management. They shut down the properties to trespass and guided hunts last year.

The state. That's why it's state trust land, ceaded to the individual states to hold in trust to generate income for schools. Nothing about multiple use in state trust lands, only making money. Unrestricted public access doesn't generally generate income, that's just one little problem with...

This is probably a good common sense bill that won't ruffle too many feathers if handled correctly. I'm a little biased, back in 2000 I turned back a moose tag when I broke my leg in early August. At that time, it worked for me without negative impacts to the resource. Of course moose...

Link to some interesting studies ongoing to track mule deer migration patterns in western and southern Wyoming. Raises some interesting ideas about the value of transitional/migration corridor habitat. We'll see how much interest this generates vs. the tag allocation controversy...

I heard the tagholder took a 5 1/2 year old ram, which is probably about the top end that can be realistically expected from the unit at this point, since the sheep were only re-introduced into the unit about 4 years back. Congrats to the lucky hunter. There's probably only one ram over 6...

The so-called "green energy" industry should contribute significantly to wildlife and habitat management. The wind energy industry is making and will continue to make a very significant impact to Wyoming's wildlife. Impacts to avian wildlife have been discussed ad nauseum, but the impacts to...

The area refered to above in the checkerboard NE of Rawlins is no longer listed in the walk-in guide. The land sold last year to out-of-state interests, and apparently is no longer enrolled in the program. You might want to contact the game warden to confirm. There really is no way to hunt...

Sagebrush, depending on the species (Wyoming vs. basin, vs. Mountain big sage), elevation, precipitation, soils, etc., takes anywhere from 30 to 150 years to return to pre-disturbance levels. That's not the point of treating decadent mountain shrub stands, the point is to encourage ?ice cream...

Actually jm, it was just a straight-forward question. I haven't been able to find the written public comments on proposed legislation to for review. To me, your statements made it seem that you had some sort of inside track. I'm certainly not about to file FOIA requests over something as...
