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