Y'all got this figured out yet?

Working on it. Almost done.

Raided was much more fun and I thought you had a story. Darn.

What western residents are complaining that 7 tags a year isn't enough?

I want to know also.

It’s only a crisis if you make it. I don’t have unlimited money or time. I reap what I sow. Having unreal instagram, social media expectations of what you or anyone else is entitled to is your problem not a tag problem.

I'm glad we can all agree that WY residents have it good and they dont need 90/10 on deer, elk, and antelope

I hope they dont do 90/10 on Deer elk and Antelope.

Eliminate nonresident tags

Eliminate nonresident tags

Then who would fund the majority of F&G budgets? The residents certainly wouldn't be up to the price increase to make up the budget.

Whether you like NM quotas is a different conversation.

Indeed it is.

As to LO vouchers, next year it will be more cost effective to buy LO cow tag than to go general antlerless in UT, and with a better guarantee on filling the tag...

So should every NR tag should basically be auctioned for top $? Go that way and you'll only have more bigger $ interest non-residents to compete with.

That is a result of the large # of transferrable landowner tags.

They already are, that's why a 6A UW archery ES voucher goes for $7,500 now where a handful of years ago they were $2,000 tops....

I didnt read through all the posts......take hunting seasons out of the rut.

Are big game tags getting harder to get if you are a resident? I have seem some point creep in some units. Other units none.

Non resident tags getting harder to get.....yes. Seems like this is a non resident issue. Does this give reason for a state to change regulations and tag allocation to accommodate out of state hunters? I don't think so.

I have hunted out of state and enjoy it. My primary focus for hunting is in state.
