    Auctioning access to hunt private land

    If they were smart what they would do it modify the HMA system and allow people who have a tag for a particular species and specific unit. Then everyone who has an eligible tag could pay a fee to enter a lottery draw for access to that land. A flat fee that takes everyone eligible and all the...

    Auctioning access to hunt private land

    Abso litely not a good idea. They just will not let up on having transferable land owner tags. It will absolutely compete with access yes. It is going to be the one shot hunt, just for private land access….

    CPW Presentation on Lion/Bobcats

    I know that in a recent meeting the CPW had a very strong presentation on lion and bobcats in the state. Does anyone have a link to that presentation. Something that could be shared with others, and not include the entire meeting etc. maybe a YouTube video?

    High fence crowd at its finest

    HAHA. I did not say that, but I also disagree. I think game farms should be legal. I think Private property owners should have the right to use the land they own as they see fit. The comment about the sheep being legal to hunt was meant to show that obtaining the genetic material did not mean...

    High fence crowd at its finest

    HAHA. I feel really icky now as well because I am agreeing with TRI as well... I also feel that the CITES violation for importing parts of an animal is one of the worst rules around and should be ended. We have no idea if the DNA/Genetic Material obtained was legally obtained or not. I do know...

    High fence crowd at its finest

    Ok smart guy. How would importing DNA and making a clone create a disease that would harm native sheep? I will wait for any peer reviewed science that shows that is an issue. I get the argument if he was importing live animals that could be carrying disease. But genetic material, that then is...

    High fence crowd at its finest

    I actually find this really cool and very interesting. The only real issue here is the Government was not getting their fair share. The sheep can legally be hunted. It is just a silly rule that prevent the importation. Which a stupid bs rule... On the flipside the science and the fact that an...

    Dolores river

    HAHA. So unless it is a monument or park it has no protections? The only way for the land and wildlife to remain is by designating it? What a disaster. Also just a note, not all monuments allow hunting. Removing hunting from a monument is way easier than removing hunting from other public lands...

    Willing to help / trade ?

    22 would be off my list. They have absolutely hammered the deer in 22. Sad. If you want a heads up on the 21, look up the hunt Randy Newberg had with his son. A bunch of 22" basket 4x4s. Age class and over all numbers in 22 are horrible. Numbers and age class slightly better in 21, but not where...

    SF 111 mule deer and whitetail separate hunting licenses, bad for mule deer.

    I had some great feed back from several. I was not hopeful, but the few that would listen asked questions and seemed interested in the issue.

    SF 111 mule deer and whitetail separate hunting licenses, bad for mule deer.

    Sent another round of emails again this am. Not sure anyone really cares or seems to understand. This will have a ton of downside. It will be only a matter of time before this forces all limited tags for all and the draw odds go to crap. It is a down ward spiral that will destroy our current set up.

    Winter range report

    I am seriously not sure why anyone is surprised by this. We all knew it. We were all talking about it as it was happening. Many of us here on the forums were talking about 60% mortality. Many of us were talking nearly 100% fawn mortality. Even I. Areas where it was less devastating we were...

    Proposed season structure 2025-2029

    Where is your data to prove that archery elk is having an impact on the rut and pregnancy rates? You make such a claim back it up with data. Oh here is a little hint. The data show’s that the the quiet period between the archery season and the 1st rifle is the most important time for actual...

    Then do it across the board. Why single put the resident archery hunters and not the rifle hunters?

    Yep and that was an absolute bs move as well. It sucks in every way. And every step the CPW is doing exactly the opposite of what the surveys and the people are saying.

    Proposed season structure 2025-2029

    I think you are missing the issue. Archery hunters will now be limited, both resident and non resident in the same units they can buy OTC. You may get lucky and get a leftover but otherwise now there is a whole pile of archery guys with5, 10, 15, 20 points who will have to use those points or...

    Proposed season structure 2025-2029

    The recommended option is everyone is limited for archery by DAU/GMU. Yet they are keeping the rifle seasons in the same units unlimited.... That is the issue. Resident should not have to go limited at all until all residents are totally limited.

    Proposed season structure 2025-2029

    HAHA. I love it, we must limit all archery hunting. Both resident and nonresident. It is vital.... But lets allow unlimited OTC in both the 2nd and third rifle. We must have that... Sad that they cant allow the residents the ability to hunt OTC and only limit the NR? NR caps is far better than...

    I have had a couple responses from Senators who state the Game and Fish personnel testified were in favor of the legislation. Is this true? Is the Game and Fish in favor of this move? Who would have been the personnel that were there to testify on this issue?

    SF 111 mule deer and whitetail separate hunting licenses, bad for mule deer.

    How would this help? It will only increase pressure on deer. As mentioned almost a 1/3 of general deer tags end up on White tails later in the season. Forcing the split means that 1/3 will roll into pressure for mule deer. Also splitting will increase pressure on both species. Now I have 1...

    Thanks for the update. I did get an email in today but did not realize yesterday was the committee discussion. I will try hard to speak with senators. Where are most of the NGOs on this topic? I have not spoken to anyone who understands this issue. So there is a huge need for education. I will...

    It is a horrible idea and worth about as much as a velvet painting a of whale and a dolphin getting it on. Sorry but it will not accomplish anything except put more pressure on all deer.

    First news on Wyoming elk special fee applications

    So a little perspective. One of NR buddies came on a general hunt 2 falls ago. He has 1 point in the draw. He is doing the math and rightfully so.. if the general tags take 5 years to draw. 4 points plus 1. That means at best he likely has 5 more tags. If he is lucky and hits a random he might...

    Wyoming antelope

    I am not sure, but in the areas affected by last winter, I don't think there were any doe tags and if there were any they were targeting specific private property. Hell they decided to eliminate hunting for all antelope entirely in a unit that was hard hit. I would be surprised if they open that...
