You can't look at two data points and attempt to draw a trend line especially when there are 7 data pts between the two your trying to connect. As long as the resident permits are general it would be really hard to get a accurate count of resident hunters. The quality of deer in region G & H...

Yes you would the 30th would be ok.

LAST EDITED ON Apr-23-17 AT 09:39PM (MST)[p]The best option would be to make the Region G & H Sept 15-30th LQ with 1800 tags for each region for residents. (these LQ permits would only be good for archery & the rifle in these regions). Region G & H would then open to general permit holders Oct...

Funny, that's not my experience in Colorado at all. Colorado kicks the *&#% out of Wyoming with the exception of two general regions. I draw late season rifle tags that I can hunt every 2-3 years (as a nonresident) and they are better than the best LQ mule deer hunting in Wyoming. The hunts...

Resident regions is a great idea. It would help make Wyoming a more pleasurable place to hunt for everyone by reducing crowding. It will be interesting to see the results from the proposed pilot program in HA 82 & 100. That is pick a region + pick a period of the season in which to hunt.

I don't think we would ever want or need to feed deer 6 months a year. If you started feeding in Early December and continued till mid February-early March (depending on the severity of the winter). Most will definitely agree you cant wait till your 2 weeks into a extreme winter event to start...

JM77 you must have a different google than I do. I browsed the first couple of pages of your suggested search term & I see no damning studies on winter feeding of deer. Furthermore the study I did look at was published in the 2003. I think its fair to say that we now have better tools to...

Well said ICM DEER, it is also my thought that deer can and should be fed. Its to bad we couldn't have a in depth, unbiased (double blind) study as to its effectiveness or ineffectiveness. In the last 7 years the science of wildlife management has been greatly aided by new technology. GPS...

It has nothing to with caving to archery hunters. Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, & New Mexico do this to maximize opportunity & maximize revenue. These states utilize a much lower success rate associated with archery hunts to sell more tags and provide more hunters a chance to chase animals...

Buy a archery stamp and hunt Sept 1-14 in the Northern units and Sept 1-31st in HA 135.

Founder, The acceptable number of tags is around a 10% allocation to nonresidents. If that dips a little low in one particular unit, after a horrific winter so be it. Wyoming far exceeds 10% on a statewide average, Especially for elk, moose, sheep, & goats. For the record Utah gives <8% to...

I'm opposed to LQ in the regions for residents. I would not be opposed to pick a region, or a multitude of other solutions to reduce hunting pressure in G & H. I'm also not opposed to a reduction in non resident tags for region G. Wyoming gives away the bank to non-resident hunters when...

I'm telling my nonresident friends to hold off a year or two. There is going to be serious winter losses. Especially Sublette county

Major winter concerns in both hunt areas. Both are good but H has so much wilderness that its harder to find a place that isn't crowded. With that being said G can be pretty popular to. There is probably not better any better general hunt areas. People just need to keep in mind that they are...

The NR LQ hunt areas including region G & H deer should be 100% special, (except youth should be normal price). The market would support it. The general hunt areas including general elk tags, cow tags, and other regions should remain a 50/50 split because the market won't support huge...
