Yes, just another wishlist item that needs a ton of scrutiny. The next meetings in two weeks should be douseys!Sure wish the G&F would publish a list of current Gen units that have too high a population of bulls and don't get enough hunter participation. Until I see that, any effort to increase the 7250 quota or move to NR regions is smoke and mirrors.
Actually not all are Republicans.I would venture a guess and say all the board members are republicans. I'm sure they are capitalists and against welfare for those people already working. Val Kilmer in Tombstone said it best, "It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds."
Can't hardly find a guided antelope hunt for under $1800 these days.....I would never hire a guide but I get emails. $1800 is going to be cheap if it takes 8-10 years to draw a buck antelope tag.Dumping 40% of the non resident antelope tags into a guided only pool sure is frustrating to hear. It's super frustrating for deer and elk as well but antelope, come on.
NR getting totally screwed anyway because they are going to increase the NR tag fees to cover any shortfalls in revenue. So, NR's lose out on tag opportunities and when we do draw, we pay more for the tag. Double frickin whammy.....As a WY resident I might be in the minority, but I say go 85%-15% on DEA with no government handouts to outfitters. WY residents get more tags, and non-residents don't get totally screwed. Outfitters can sell their product to 15% instead of 10%. That's called a compromise. Re-evaluate in 5 years.
I agree it’s terrible. Probably should stop applying. All of you.NR getting totally screwed anyway because they are going to increase the NR tag fees to cover any shortfalls in revenue. So, NR's lose out on tag opportunities and when we do draw, we pay more for the tag. Double frickin whammy.....
...and let them win?? Hell no! I'm killing 2 per tag from here on out. LOLI agree it’s terrible. Probably should stop applying. All of you.

Handouts and allocations go hand in hand, that's the name of the game.As a WY resident I might be in the minority, but I say go 85%-15% on DEA with no government handouts to outfitters.

Let's make it 90-10 with 50% going to outfitters then and raise NR licensee fees. Quadruple whammy it. I was just suggesting a middle ground. 90-10 with 50% to the outfitters benefits me more than 85-15 with 0% going to outfitters. NR guys sure know how to lobby residents.NR getting totally screwed anyway because they are going to increase the NR tag fees to cover any shortfalls in revenue.

We focus on trophy elk, mule deer, antelope and moose hunts and take B&C bucks most years.
