Tell her to kill the mule deer/whitetail split idea when you talk with her.

There is public comment at TRW, actually may be the most important public input. There is obviously public input at the Legislature, which is where the bill goes if the TRW sponsors it. If it passes here, the Commission promulgates any rules that may be needed. Again, public input on that.

Yeah those resident shed hunters will be whining that whole first week of May! :ROFLMAO:

How about just get personal? You have your opinion others have theirs. Now, anything of substance or just plain old Jackson Hole lingo?

And there's one large sportsman/conservation group yet to be invited. But that's because they stand with their membership and fight the good fight. I guess that's how the Governor rolls.

The current system is 75/25 which creates 1 random moose tag and no random sheep for NR. This is where things go south. You're not describing most residents.

For residents I don't want change. I've drawn my sheep and moose tag under the current system. If random went to 50% or they changed to BP that would increase my future chances, but I'm fine leaving it just like it is. For NR, there are no random tags( 1 moose, 0 sheep this year) and to sustain...

If everyone is calling "hurry up and get a ticket before they are all gone" an invite, I got one too. 🤷‍♂️ Second, the dog and pony show. I'm sure the same folks will be sitting at the table as usual.

Where does it say they last forever or guarantee a tag?

Honestly, isn't that true? No one was ever "guaranteed" a license and top point holders are still drawing tags in the PP drawing. The fact that applicants have increased, numbers of licenses have decreased and the res/nr allocation has changed, doesn't change what a point is.

Would be very interested to hear how that goes.

No points for mtn goats. Random draw only.

It's ok to eat as long as you don't test it? Does the test make the CWD more potent or something? To be fair, most hunters in known CDW areas, don't test and I'm sure they say the same thing you do. Bottom line, every hunter in these areas has eaten meat from a CDW infected deer, elk or moose...

By my count it would be 7 ram and 2 ewe to random for NR.

There are no meeting materials out yet, but it will be the same BP system proposed by the Task Force I'm sure. It will be for moose and sheep only. Wyoming has a hybrid PP/random system. 75/25. This doesn't work with the 90/10 allocation for the moose and sheep by individual hunt area. Simple...

They switched a moose tag around to make a NR random tag in area 25.

Grandson #2 gets his chance and makes good.

The biggest die-offs in sheep I know about are the Gros Ventre and Whiskey Mtn herds. No goats around those areas.

May not have to worry much longer about mtn goats. Today at the Commission meeting Doug Brimeyer admitted the Dept is reducing goat herds where they live next to Bighorns. I guess you call them invasive long enough and the name sticks.

Don't drop your preference points for moose and sheep yet. The Travel, Rec and Wildlife interim committee will be discussing changing PP to bonus starting at it's May meeting in Cody.

I agree, but before the change to 90/10 allocations were also done at the statewide level. @goforbroke it doesn't appear there will be a moose random tag for NR either. I wouldn't stop getting points until the question of allocations (50/50?) or bonus points is answered.

How many days are there from Aug 10th thru Jan 31st? No matter how you call it, that's the "fall" hunting season.

Who's fault is it then that many who apply don't know how the system works? When many residents wanted a first crack at the leftover tags, members of the Task Force and later some in the G&F Dept said residents should know how having three choices works on tag apps.

I agree with you here, it looks intentional. Thoughts @ClearCreek ?

There will be no random NR sheep tag if the quotas are approved as proposed. The Dept. would have to speak about any possible changes.

I was trying to help...

To be sure, you do understand there are no landowner tags issued in 56 & 59 or in most NW Wyoming areas?

What @BuzzH said, preference point split for moose and sheep is on a hunt area basis.

You of all should know this first hand.

They only shrink 2-4 inches of score when they are scored too high to begin with. Boiling horns off doesn't help either.

There will be a statute adjustment to deal with this, but if they go too far the stock growers will step in.

Took my grandson yesterday before the big storm hitting Wyoming. We had an awesome hunt, the gobbler came strutting over the slope of the hill and he whacked him at 5 yards with the TSS!

The candidates are chosen by the Commission, the Gov chooses from there. And yes, the whole thing is political.

The "Wyoming expert" is correct as residents elect our Governor.

The Commission will give three names to the Governor who, after consideration, will make the appointment.

Can't do much of anything if they are on private land. Wind farms and solar fields are net losses for wildlife and those pushing them don't care.

One of the main reasons LQ areas have a higher % kill is that LQ hunters have no other options. Residents can hunt general every year which makes for a higher likelihood of self regulating on mule deer, which we know has happened, especially in western Wyoming. Proof that LQ rarely works long...

Won't happen, they are too caught in their sexual identity and fantasizing about @BuzzH kill photos.
