In light of the new resident shed hunting head-start law (great law btw - resident Grandpa’s need a few extra days before the non-resident grandchildren get them all ?, young uns got their whole lives ahead of them)
What’s the local appetite for designating weekends as “resident only” fishing...
What do you think Buzz? Can you get a resident only pool of super tags? I’m fine with NR getting a wolf and antelope tag but the rest should be resident only IMO. Obviously still need NR to apply for all tags though (maybe just don’t tell them they are resident only?)
This is crazy, These are premium Wyoming tags and 10 out of 11 went to Non-Residents of Wyoming! This is Wyoming wildlife so how does this happen? I think the trifecta should be guaranteed to a resident no matter how many non residents apply. Maybe residents should get some type of bonus point...
It’s going to be interesting how many non-residents with less than max points continue to buy sheep/moose preference points. Basically lighting money on fire at this point with no positive impact other than funding Wyo G&F. Would be better to just donate the money and get a tax write off as they...
Agree 100% - it’s one thing to pay $20 or even $50 dollars for a bonus point each year - but if they go to squared bonus points like Nevada they simply aren’t worth the cost to justify the extremely terrible odds, let alone $150 per point that they are currently. Buzz and WGFD are smoking...
I’m with Llama Packer in questioning why more people in this thread haven’t completed a simple math equation to understand what their real odds of ever getting a moose/sheep tag in Wyoming are now. I let my 13 points for sheep and moose expire on Monday after not buying a point for two...
Your right - Hunting forum names are a great way to tell a lot about a person. Someone with the name “grosventrehunter” must be the best and most dedicated hunter. He is definitely one of the most entitled and whiny Wyoming residents. My guess is your family has less than 50 years in the state...
I lived in Wyoming for 36 years but relocated in 2016 for work. I didn’t draw a single LQ tag while I was a resident and left the state with a dozen moose and another dozen sheep points but didn’t once think I needed more or had gotten the short end of the stick.
We live in such an entitled society.
A Wyoming resident who can buy an over the counter deer and elk tag every year is complaining that not drawing a coveted LQ elk tag is “the short end of the stick”
