How is that going to fix the problem you describe near Cody in your last post? All the best hunting is on public.
I'm a hard no any outfitter set asides or any stupid RFW scheme. You talk as though Utah and CO have these perfect systems, when in fact, they're full of flaws, problems, etc.
In CO, you cant even apply for them as a NR. Further, the state of CO has legislated that public lands within the border of RFW properties, even if accessible to the public, can not be hunted unless you have a RFW permit. In other words, hunters are being denied the use of their public land with a valid tag for the units that they draw where RFW lands are enrolled. All kinds of problems with the transferable LO tags as well.
In Utah, the CWMU operators get to determine when the public hunters get to hunt, typically well after their high paying clients have left. I've also heard cases of people being denied access to certain areas of he CWMU...huh, wonder why that would be? Nothing better than hunting after the best of the best critters have been picked over.
I also think these programs are in direct conflict with the NAM of wildlife conservation and turn wildlife into a commodity to be exploited by the well heeled at the expense of the public.
I will fight any ideas of RFW, CWMU, or outfitter set asides using every bit of political influence I have...we don't owe anyone a living off our wildlife resources.
I say if you're so easily impressed with the RFW/CWMU programs...nothing stopping you from moving to those states, there's highways that run north, south, east, and west...pick one and get on the road.
