How to end NR Wyoming wilderness ban?

Not me. I have no doubt it would lead to NR quota cuts and/or outfitter only tags. So even if you win the battle, you will lose the war. NR would end up with some more land they can hunt, and no tag to hunt it with.

How would eliminating the outfitter requirements for NR be a loss to me? Tags are still being issued one way or another. If outfitters aren’t required then I would at least have a chance to hunt the wilderness area. Not much would change, you are still drawing from a limited allotment of tags that the resource can substance. It’s not like it would be an OTC tag… It would be just like the other areas in WY that are on a draw system.

Are the outfitters not capped on the amount of tags they can guide?

For the record, hunting WY wilderness isn’t on my short list but it’s hard to understand this point.

They are not capped, and any outfitter tags would come from the nr side, reducing the quota to diy hunters.

I would rather have 84/16 and no wilderness than 90/5/5 and be able to hunt the wilderness. I have hunted in the wilderness many times and it is not worth giving up anything for. Just my opinion.

Exactly, and people forget, nr landowners draw first and they have no cap. 5% could go to 0% pretty quick in some hunt areas.

As a resident of Wyoming I would let the NR hunt in the wilderness for a 90/5/5 tag split I have never killed anything in a wilderness anyways...

The reason Wyoming is so attractive is because most residents don't bow hunt (only like 7%) and those that do aren't very good at it. NR's can come in and clean house. I guess if I was a Wyoming resident I'd want to keep others away, too.

Hey now it’s hard to shoot a bow out of a truck.

Maybe there should be some additional classes at S2HU... @Billy Goat @fwafwow @Drenalin @Nickofthewoods

True Story, offered to do a Rokcast on memes and how to properly craft them. Explain the art behind them, when properly done, it's got a lot more to it than just a picture with words.


It wasn't completely shut down, but apparently I need a little more sound equipment than I have.


Whoda thunk you need more than string and some cups...

I always wonder about that number considering x bows are legal during archery season....

Ya that's the beauty of the wilderness rule.

Yes I will say it. In the world we live in with aholes making utube videos on what to apply for (you know who they are...wildlife pimps), its a bright spot.

Crossbows should be for cripples and the infirm. That is something we as residents have to work on.

They've been a non issue in WY for 40 years.

What impact have they made? Source of data?

No data needed. That’s principle. Learn a skill and hone it.
But you’re right. Probably not a lot of impact.

It is an older number, maybe 5 or 6 years old, and I'm sure it has grown since then.

Regardless, it has been my experience across 3 archery hunts there the R's don't really get after it with a bow. Montanans put them to shame as far as effort, Coloradans as far as skill.

I just spent two weeks at my place in Wyo, and Im catching up on Rokslide threads and it took me a pot of coffee to read thru this thread... entertaining for sure.

Here's what I do know:

In Colorado, there are Moose Units are Resident Only.

NonRes can hunt deer, antelope, elk, small game, fish, hike and anything else in these units, just not hunt moose.

In these moose units there are BLM lands, State Lands, Federal Lands and even..... Wilderness Areas.

I have never heard of one complaint about this.
Not one. Ever.

So nonresidents can get a Moose tag but not hunt the area while residents with the same tag can?

Guess I don’t see how residents being the only tag holders as the same as having a valid tag but having to have a babysitter, probably why no one complains.
