WYOGA was very instrumental in helping to defeat the recent attack from Wyoming Senator Hicks and others who want to take non-resident hunting tags from non-resident hunters (SF0094). Those pushing this bill wrote it up with a call for 30% of the few tags leftover for non-residents to be for outfitted hunters only. So basically, this senator, and whomever else was behind this bill, wanted to cut NR's DIY tags to 7%. Yep, 7%!!
Non-residents really should appreciate the fact that WYOGA is on our side on most issues. Of course we need to stand up for ourselves by sending letters and emails and voicing our concerns when others want to take our opportunity.
Remember, while we might not be residents of Wyoming or other states, we must still try to preserve our opportunity as best we can. When we quit, our opportunities will go away to others who want it more.
I just wanted to post this because in another thread I jumped to conclusions and thought the outfitters were in part behind that senate bill that Hicks was pushing. I apologize to WYOGA and their members.
Status quo is good.....no NR tag cuts and no outfitter allocated tags. Eventually no silly Wilderness rule that makes no sense and is only meant to benefit a few outfitters in that area.
