ACTION ALERT:
YOUR HUNTING OPPORTUNITY IN WYOMING IS THREATENED!
A bill has been introduced to the Wyoming senate that would drastically reduce your nonresident hunting opportunities. We urge you to please send comments TODAY on this important issue.
Senate File 103 would slash nonresident hunting licenses by up to HALF and dramatically increase license costs. The number of nonresident licenses would be reduced to just 10% of the total allocation - that's about half of the current number for species like deer and antelope.
This would severely limit your ability to draw a nonresident hunting license in the future. And it undermines the significant investment that so many nonresident hunters have made in preference points.
What's more, SF103 would have a devastating impact on local communities that depend on hunting tourism. Each year, our hunters spend money at hotels, restaurants, sporting goods stores, grocery stores and gas stations. The increased license costs outlined in this bill would not make up for that loss of tourism within our communities.
We urge you to please contact members of the Senate Travel, Recreation and Wildlife Committee TODAY! The committee will hear this bill tomorrow, Wednesday March 4th at 8am.
In your comments, please be respectful and let the senators know how this bill would hurt your plans to hunt Wyoming in the future. Please let them know that you've invested in preference points. And remind them of the economic impact that you bring to Wyoming each time you visit.
Thank you for taking a few minutes out of your day to comment on this issue! It would have a terrible impact on your hunting opportunities in Wyoming.
Sincerely,
Scott, Angie, and the Table Mountain Crew
