    Legalized robbery that needs to stop.

    A wise man told me don't argue with fools, because people from a distance can't tell who is who. Good luck to everyone this upcoming season. I love Wyoming.

    Legalized robbery that needs to stop.

    Public education and healthcare are local public amenities that mostly don't benefit NR's at all. That's schools and hospitals for those interpreting the data posted. The two people care most about. "Public Welfare" is just an ancillary bucket for the rest of the "public services" that receive...

    Legalized robbery that needs to stop.

    100% agree with you it's not robbery. NR's don't have to buy into the WGFD licensing system. I don't like how it's structured, but I still pay into it. I hope the bull you pick is a good one. Good luck.

    Legalized robbery that needs to stop.

    Per capita isn't a criteria. It's a unit of measurement. If you have a state population of 1,000,000 people and 1,000 commit suicide, that's a 0.1% suicide rate. If California has 50M people and they have 10,000 suicides, that's 0.02%. Your state suicide rate is higher. Period, that's how it...

    Legalized robbery that needs to stop.

    Comments that include "I'm sure" lots of money comes into the res' and "I'm sure" our conservative governor is keeping the state flush and "I bet if you look deep" aren't facts, my friend. Those are qualitative statements based on what you want to believe, not quantitative facts. WY has the...

    Legalized robbery that needs to stop.

    OP - Overall, most Wyoming res hunters don't care about your point. Mostly because their federal funding has never been taken away, and NR's continue to pay into the system, so they don't actually understand what it would look like if they had to self fund their wildlife management. As a...

    WY general tag vs. NM

    I was one of the lucky few who's app didn't process correctly....hopefully, that means I'll get a tag this year!

    WY general tag vs. NM

    First, I would take a "good" NM unit over a WY general unit hands down. Second, I'd start e-scouting and planning to come to Colorado because your chances of drawing WY general with one point, or a "good" NM unit as a NR are slim to anorexic. If it was me, I'd put in for both and withdraw my...

    How many inReach Units are needed for a group of hunters?

    Just rent a couple for your trip. 1 for each group. If you aren't going to use it in the future, why buy them and pay for the subscription? I've had one since they came out and leave the subscription active. It's always in my pack. Leaving it in camp like someone else mentioned defeats the...

    A nation of wimps?

    As the saying goes.... "Easy times make soft men. Soft men make hard times. Hard times make hard men. Hard men make easy times." It's all a cycle. I like it that we're in a sissified period. It's opportunity to me. It makes it that much easier to outperform other people.

    Wyoming type 9 in Bighorns

    I think I'm literally the only one who's named a unit in this thread....and that's all I did. Name it. If anything, I illuded to the fact it was an underwhelming hunt, which should only help your cause if you live/hunt there. The thread is titled type 9 in the Bighorns. Anybody with a WY big...

    New Mexico Elk hunting Questions

    I certainly wont argue that point with you. It's unfortunately trending that way in every state in the West. My comment was meant truly as a little friendly ribbing...I love NM. It just made me chuckle when you said you'll have to apply out of state to continue to hunt elk. It's like, where do...

    New Mexico Elk hunting Questions

    I'll trade you NM elk pressure for CO elk pressure all-day, everyday and twice on Sundays... plus I'll pay twice the tag fee and buy you a steak dinner ;)

    New Mexico Elk hunting Questions

    Applying as a group will reduce your draw odds. If you are all going regardless and just as happy if only one of you draws....apply individually. What weapon? There are units with higher than 3% draw odds, despite what another member said, although still not good. You just have to look up the...

    Hunting scenario, what’s the best way to close the final 50 yards?

    As an overarching generalization, once you learn how to hunt elk, being aggressive when you are already in very close proximity will serve you better and convert more often than being timid and waiting for the perfect time to make a move. I'm not saying be cavalier and uncalculating. But, if you...

    How old is this bull?

    Pay the $75 and tell us all how wrong we are ;) Matson's Labs

    4. Possibly 5, but I don't think so.

    Idaho draw

    Nobody should be able to buy tags for another person who isn't physically present.
