Type X tags?

[jims]

I noticed at today's Task Force meeting there was a chunk of time spent talking about Type X tags. From the sound of it they would be separate from Type 1 or 2 tags. They were super vague in their description and most of the details. My guess is they purposely were vague? Does anyone know any of the details? This certainly raised a lot of red flags that I think some of the Task Force member caught onto?

A whole write up on them in the meeting materials.

Essentially transferable landowner tags.

Type X tags are a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's just another way for landowners and outfitters to throw a smokescreen in the name of elk management, to get subsidies for elk licenses. The only difference is they are drawn, rather than transferred.

Outfitter welfare...

I had a sneaky suspicion that's what they were about but didn't want to raise a stink until I was certain. They certainly tried to sugar coat the protocol with a whole lot of vagueness in the description. My guess is the landowners/outfitters are joining arms and testing the waters on how to approach this.

It sounded like the Task Force members were open to comments in regard to TYPE X tags. Hopefully Wyo res and nonres DIY/OYO hunters can stand together and relay solid comments in opposition to TYPE X tags to the Task Force!

Did you see any TF members mention nr comments when they were discussing removing the 7250 cap at the last meeting?
