A lot of folks on here, including myself, have stated that they are willing to pay additional license fee for Wyo big game, fishing, etc. Since the G&F license fee is online, what I am wondering if it would be a viable change for Wyo G&F to implement an optional fee schedule for Resident...

Well, it's finally official. A badly kept secret locally, but Weatherby is moving their operations from California to Sheridan. We're pretty stoked about it here. They are live streaming from the SHOT show in Vegas about the move.
The Wyo Game and Fish Commission is starting to look at some the of hunting technologies on the market today. Maybe targeting crossbows, "smart guns", etc. "Founder's law" is briefly mentioned. Link...

Does anyone remember how Wyo got a non-resident pp system, but not a res pp system?
