Love how everyone talks trash on Game and Fish and our Governor without realizing how good we have it. Bunch of marble mouths throwing a fit like an autistic kid on mountain dew.
80" plus is a big ask imho. Especially in the areas most impacted by winter kill last year, numbers are down but it would still be a fun hunt. The best trophy areas are in the parts of the state that weren't hit with such severe winter kill but drawing a tag is going to take 9-11+ points. I...
Region F. Can say it isn't as bad in regions g and h, but def not a ton of selective hunters. I would much rather a whitey doe than a sub 170 mule deer. Wish more hunters felt the same. Part of this legislation is to force more whitetail harvest from what I have been told.
I get your sentiment, but sadly there are very few hunters in general units practicing selective harvest. People will drive past hundreds of whitetails on public ground to kill a 80" mule deer. Something has to change.
How would this be bad for mule deer? If they issue the same number of tags it is a wash just more difficult to draw. I for one support this, would rather play the lotto and have a chance for both than be stuck picking and choosing between the 2. But I want limited licenses in G and H areas...
Just saw this thread. Glad you had some scouting luck founder. It gives me hope. Been pretty doom and gloom in the northern parts of g and Southern parts of H this summer so far. I just returned from a scouting trip myself and it was unsuccessful to say the least. The areas I was in usually...
Think what you want. Whatever makes you sleep better at night. It is the responses and denial like you have that make me want to document it. Hell I can take pics and post them with said outfitter that created such agregious crimes against out beloved wildlife here in Wyoming. It is truly...
Come hang out at the processor with me in Sept.-Oct. You would be mortified and change your opinion quickly. That is if you hunt for food and believe animals deserve respect. Also a bear didn't do that to the deer. No way in Gods green earth was that a bear.
That ain't a bear looks more like the you had an outfitter gut your deer... the things I see at the processor make this look cleaner and more salvagable than 80% of the game animals taken by outfitters in Western Wy every year.
