77% of license revenue, not of total Fish and Game revenue. IN FY 2020, total revenue for WY F&G was 88M, and 43M was NR license revenue.

In Idaho NR license revenue is 26% and resident is 15%...
First off - sorry for the long response, but this article is worth discussion, and cannot be summarized in a sentence or two.
Zero cases in this article is a US Court (District, Appeals, or Supreme) deciding "the feds own the fish and wildlife, the states do not." Instead these cases deal with...
Dogs are not capable of being reasoned with (kids too) and reward/punishment is the language they speak. Dogs respond to physical correction. I put a shock collar on my dog along with 99% of upland game hunters. Only you can decide if it's malignant.
I think this is where the closure comes from. Too many idiots in society as a whole.
We have all seen the worst of human behavior in our national forests.
If the two options for land owners are 1. private land owners, or 2. This kind of government ran public land
Which do we choose?
It would be nice to sort threads. Right now they are just sorted oldest to newest. Any chance (or support for) having comments "grouped" or "stacked" similar to Reddit or Facebook. I can try to clarify further if its unclear.
I like the way you played your hand.
step 1: make rok account as "frank church guy"
step 2: post ungodly amount of elk hunting as being out of the frank church.
step 3: continue hunting wyoming while online guys think there are elk in the frank.
I see several comments about the increase in demand coming from residents. This is simply not true, based on last data available in the 2019 commissioners report. Residents still make up for 75% of the licenses sold.
From the 2019 report we see there is not an increase in resident combo...
NR revenue doesn't matter, resident fees matter even less. Total IDFG revenue in 2021 was $124M, at best NR revenue is 10% of the total. Or am I missing something?
If IDFG wanted to change the system they could. They have the autonomy and data.
There are soo many great suggestions on how to avoid this crapola, but IDFG isn't interested in making it a better, smoother experience, online and on the field...
IDFG is a joke, and they aren't accountable.
The director and commissioners aren't elected officials, but hand picked by the governor, a corruptable system.
The only way IDFG will change is from lobbying ranchers.
First off - let me apologize if this is obnoxious, or tedious etc - HOWEVER - I have firm belief in discussing things we can disagree on. It broadens our aptitude.
Don't call my bluff on resistant deer, call out the biologists. It appears, you're doubling down on your stance of CWD not being...
Resistance does not mean immunity. Resistance does not mean they will not die if they become infected with CWD. Resistance only means they may not become infected as easily. All CWD cases are fatal. It is irrefutable biology. It cannot be "fought off" and the prion actually causes a chain...
