Its all but a done deal for the big 5...no threat about it and way past due.

If NR hunters are so concerned about tag allocations, start working to improve habitat, migration corridors, funding over-passes, fencing projects, etc. etc.

Build a bigger pie and you get a larger slice.
Pretty big assumption that NR don’t already do that with their cash and donations, I get it though boots on ground mean much more then millions put into conservation, not only by tags purchased but also by funds given to orgs like RMEF, WSF etc, not really BHA as they don’t do anything for habitat, access or anything wildlife really.

Keep patting yourself on the back, before you know it you‘ll have no funds, as you have said, most in WY can barely afford food let alone to pay an acceptable amount for a tag as they are cheaper then dirt for residents currently and so easy to get most can get 15+ a year, enjoy your greed man. Sorry most don’t feel sorry for WY residents that want more trophy hunting tags and not food, all about the inches you are.

Oh yeah we are already what 70% of the pie in WY, I agree residents should at the very least fund 60% of their fish and game, that goes for all states.

I have to enter my hunter education number every time I apply in CO. I makes me mad that they just cannot store that info.

As far as anti-hunters applying for tags, it is their right. Hunters do not own the wildlife. If it actually affects numbers tag allocations will adapt.
Same here, I’d think they would have the exact same system for residents and nonresidents but maybe not.

You know they had to change the rules on tag returns and points in Utah partly because a max point holder that drew a Henry's buck tag seven years in a row. Yep then returned it the day before the hunt so they'd get thier points back but the tag couldn't be re-issued. That's just not right.

I just don't care anymore what you think, I really don't.

You aren't interested in the truth, blatantly obvious from your post here.

Just about every Western State does just fine under 90-10 license allocations, Wyoming is no different.

Carry on if you must, I'm more concerned about Residents for all kinds of good reasons.

Just as everyone could careless about you selling your greed as equality, in the end all you care about is trophy hunting you just can’t admit it.

Also every other western state does just fine your right, they also sell 3-8x as many nonresident tags.

What‘s going to be hilarious is when you get what you want followed up immediately by land owner transferable tags which is next.

So as I was saying, anti hunters getting a few tags doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme when people like you want to reduce opportunities for nonresidents by 50% in limited units, keep telling yourself that’s not the truth because these tags will shift to general units, hilarious.

Try some research...what Western States sell 3-8x more tags than Wyoming?

I'll not hold my breath while your start your google machine to "prove" your lie.

MT, 17k combo and what 7k elk only vs WY 7250, CO crap a million tags, ID 1/2 million, so yeah WY needs to up its NR tags now that it wants to be like all of its direct neighbors.

Now fire up your Google machine and tell me what direct neighboring states to WY cap their elk tags close to 7250?

I love it when people who don't fill tags put in for them...that means next year there'll be more tags and better odds to draw, and better funding for conservation and wildlife management.

If every tag went to a dedicated killer, there'd be a lot less of them out there floating around.

Changing the narrative to elk...

I'll choose pronghorn, which neighboring state gives NR's 30K+ pronghorn tags?

Montana is dumping ground for NR elk hunters, if it's so great and tags are so available, take your money there...WY won't miss you.

I think you better double check your ID and CO numbers...Laffin'.

Didn't they get several of the Wyoming grizzly tags?


I remember a photographer got one.
Lots of people buy tags that don’t hunt. But that all goes into the draw odds and how many license they sell? It’s based on success rates right.

Oh but I thought most deer and pronghorn would still go to nonresidents, no change so let’s keep the narrative on elk.

Nice deflection as usual, why not just answer the question related to elk, I responded you deflected as usual, once we figure that out we can move to deer or antelope, bet you deflect and don’t answer.

Ok why don’t you tell us how many? You are the expert on this, what will changing from 80/20 to 90/10 equate to for Limited tag quantity and general tag quanties? I know you have this right in front of you so post an honest reply for once, be honest about the changes you are pushing your task force buddies.

Not bad, you only exaggerated elk tag numbers in CO, by 800,000...pretty close to "spot on".
Wow, did you just Google that 😂. We all know CO is in the 200k range but is always talked about letting everyone in, so of course I exaggerated it, spoiler, did the same for ID 🤣

So why not push for WY to give out as many NR tags as CO? That would be a Yuge economic windfall for WY, heck make 90% of the 200k tags general.

Oh and deflection again.

You did worse in Idaho...by oh, 480K+.

I smell rags burning, its your pants on fire.

So which is it? Just a flat liar, a gross exaggerator, or willfully spreading misinformation.

There isn't a good option there...hint.

Read last reply 🤣 Your Google box is way slow but you sure deflect quick.

I figured you had actually already researched how many tags are given out in all states, sounds like you just talk to the task force out of your butt or compare it to NM, AZ, CA and NV 🤣

Why not just show us how many NR elk tags are given out in all western states? I know you know the answer but don’t what to show how really limited WY already is vs your neighbors.

Facts matter...and you don't.

Have a good one!
Ok then post the facts? Again show the amount of NR elk tags per western state.

Oh you won’t because it goes against your narrative and it would show the truth 😂 Darn facts aren’t good when they don’t go with your narrative.
