If you were hunting in a non-wilderness area and your friend left half his elk in the field, would you get a ticket for wanton waste? The obligation for meat retrieval is on the licensed hunter not the resident guide. Might be different for a paid guide or mentor hunter situation, that I am...

Swing for the fences on elk in Wyo. If you strike out, get yourself a pocket full of those unlimited tags and go hunt the Mule Creek Ranch. (No relation)

Agreed. Understood, I just don't see it that way. I see it as PP's were purchased in order to give you Preference in a draw conducted under a PP system. There should have been an understanding on everyone's part that if a PP draw went away those point would be useless to them. PP's aren't...

Don't overthink this. IME, NR's put far more thought into the whole Wilderness rule than the G&F does. Not sure a call is going to get you anymore clarification than what you got on this website. I would agree with your original assumption. Once your tag is notched the "hunt" is over. After...

I do not agree. I think it is perfectly fine to make a change to the system after 3 decades. I guarantee that no one expected demand to increase like it has and supply decrease like it has over the last 3 decades. Watching what has happened over those 3 decades and then deciding a change is...

Yes they can. Being upset with a change is one thing. Saying a change can’t be made without a refund is just factually incorrect.

I got a feeling that a $15 BJ could also be described as shark bite.

Had a plumber out looking into an HVAC issue. When he was done, I asked him about replacing a leaking 3/4" ball valve (sweat fitting). $175! Ended up doing it myself, the fitting cost around $15 IIRC.

Guarantee is based off your description of your experience with Founders service and my firsthand experience with the hunters I have hiked with. What you got from Founder. He scouted for bucks for himself. He found a buck that was really good but he had his sights set on a different buck. He...

Guarantee that the friends and complete strangers I have helped hunt Wyo Wilderness areas had 10x less hand holding than you did when you teamed up with Founder and killed the buck he found for you.

Don't agree with true random for moose and sheep. Needs to be some benefit for time in the game. Don't need to see as many kids drawing moose and sheep as adults. But those just entering the system need to have some hope.

Long term a change away from PPs is a good thing. I’ll deal with whatever change comes along and accept the choices I have made. No guarantees in life.

It’s more of a time thing for me. My current job doesn’t really allow me the time I would like to put in for a sheep tag. Was hoping to make a sheep tag my retirement gift in a few years

My 24 sheep points don’t like a change but my 9 moose points think it’s a great idea

Fake News! Its Wyo State Law, we are not legally allowed to have a wildlife related committee where Josh Coursey is not a member. Drop your PP's and drop them now.
