All I’m hoping for besides getting drawn is fuel prices stay low. I hunt by myself so all cost are split between me, myself and I.
Its a silver lining if there is an impact.
"How can they shut down the woods?" I've had buddies say.
Well what happens if the F&G is shut down....similar to my construction business where we have projects outside we can do but are hung up and can't work due to city inspections halted.
Sure we are outside...but what if the F&G and Game wardens aren't working?
Lets hope this doesn't happen...

Somewhat of a hot subject right now around here whether it is legal or not but they are handing out tickets.
Ya, hand out tickets to people enjoying the outdoors far away from most everyone else, but keep letting them cram into the stores in town. That makes perfect sense. The backcountry should be the last place that would ever get shut down. How many groups are within 6 feet of each other in the backcountry? None.

This thought had crossed my mind as well. I've been pinning all my plans on a LE WY unit tag that I should be able to draw. The catch is that it is in a unit with very limited access other than an HMA. I really don't know, but who's to say that HMA's couldn't restrict access across private ground which would leave me with no decent place to hunt.
The potential loss of many years worth of points not to mention hundreds of dollars of tag fees really has me thinking about it. New this year is the option to withdraw the application and retain my points and get a refund of the fees. I REALLY want to hunt though.
I know that in the grand scheme of things there are bigger worries right now. But it's still occupying my mind.

Yeah it is a tough situation. I guess I see both sides. They are so limited in healthcare personnel and resources with many of those people serving as Search and Rescue, emergency care, and primary care. An injury in the backcountry would use a lot of resources. While most people would mitigate risk and take it a little easier then normal there are also many that will treat the backcountry like normal and take risks that are not responsible in the current situation.
Of course they could implement a use at your own risk. There may not be any rescue team to help in an emergency and you are on your own. Everyone should treat the back country this way but with PLB, inreach, etc. people are used to having a rescue team at their fingertips.
I saw a camp full of steelhead fishermen last night, all packed in around one campfire. Your argument holds no merit. Everyone goes "camping" then crowd around each other.Ya, hand out tickets to people enjoying the outdoors far away from most everyone else, but keep letting them cram into the stores in town.

As much as I would love to fly I drive out west each year. I gotta have my essentials with me.Book a flight as soon as you can. Dirt cheap right now and for foreseeable future

I bet after this year, Colorado will eliminate the return tag option.
Get the tag - it’s yours. Just like Wyoming - doctor excuse exempt
