I would like to see Wyoming start a program like Colorado's reissued tag program. In Colorado hunters can return their tags for any reason up to 30 days before season and have their points reinstated to pre-draw levels. Nevada's system allows you to return a tag and gain a point.
Returned tags are then placed onto a re-issued list for hunters to buy. I believe if you return your tag, and want your points returned, you forfeit the price of the license. If a tag is returned within 30 days of the season they need a serious medical reason, family member dies, etc.
G&F could actually generate some revenue by doing this too. Maybe when you apply you would be required to select if you want to be considered for a reissued tag. If you select yes the G&F can charge you $10-20 to be eligible. This would off-set any expenses incurred by the G&F.
There would need to be some changes like 30 days prior to rifle season, or if you purchased an archery license and the archery season opened, you can't return your tag. If a person picks up a moose, sheep, or mountain goat license it would be OIL. NR would lose their points if they pick up a reissued tag, which would help with point creep.
Thoughts?
