How to end NR Wyoming wilderness ban?

[UpNorth89]

I hunted Wy for the first time this year, solo mind you. I was worried the whole time leading up to my hunt that I would encounter people like @Wyoming300 as I had heard of this dislike for NR’s. Thankfully, everyone I encountered, for the Game Warden to the 4-5 different Wyoming residents that offered to help me pack out should I tag one, were awesome!
It may be best @Wyoming300 to zip it before you get your neighbors pissed as well.

My experience also. For every wyo300 there are a thousand really nice residents.

I encourage you to attend the game and fish public hearings that are happening all over the state.

Are there transcripts of the meetings and dates and times they happened. Talking to my friends over there they have not heard any such talk of 5000 dollar elk tags

Strangely wyo300 is the only one who's heard of this.

The meetings are posted to youtube.
The Commission doesn't set prices, the Legislature does. This guy is an idiot, ignore virtually everything he says.

Should be a lot more public land access after the elk mountain corner crossing case.

Since everyone on here has a hard time imagining from their keyboard at home across the country why hunting in an area with no roads for 40 miles, including for sars, where the roads thst do approach the border from miles away still, get seasonal closures for herd migrations and are mostly snow packed from mid october until late june through early august, you should research the issues wyoming had a few decades ago with people shooting elk they could not pack out and leaving the meat to waste, missing hunters never found, and of course the tragic bear attacks that have occurred while quartering and packing out bear. That was when game and fish decided to add some guidance with this law. It wont be an issue long though, the new game and fish director has already stated she will price out of state tags out of most peoples budgets, and limit non resident hunt areas. Afterall, it is us who take care of the ranches and pay the property tax on the hay fields that help the herds grow strong.

Wait a minute are you talking about Alaska now? I thought we were talking about Wyoming.

I don’t think it’s possible to get 40 miles from a road in the lower 48, even in the Thorofare. I see the time duration for five feet of snow on the ground expanded by a couple of months as this thread has evolved.

What’s weird is, I was at 11k feet in the wilderness recently and there wasn’t five feet of snow.

Somebody needs to put down the bottle.

Sounds like you have wyoming all figured out. Might be a good place for you to move so you dont have to worry about where your allowed to hunt.

Late october only comes once a year. How recent was late october last for you?

I love the Wyoming hunters that think they’re the only competent outdoorsmen on the planet. Everyone else will just die as soon as they step into the wilderness. They love the laws that give them special privileges to hunt “their” elk on federal land.

Those of us on the fire departments and who volunteer for sars wish you were correct in your thinking.

Sounds like you need to get out more.

The nonresidents are the ones paying for your game management. You’re not raising them up on your hayfields

Is it time for meme's yet?

There is a village diligently searching right now........

It's funny, I spent a week in Wyoming Wilderness just a few weeks ago. fished. Caught some trout. Scouted for a future hunt. all by myself, just my non-resident self and my non-resident wife. Didnt die, require a rescue, litter, act rude, tresspass, or anything of the other supposed reasons to bar NR hunters from wilderness, not even once. Musta been a fluke.

Because wilderness areas are in migration corridors where access roads close 20 miles around for migration, many of the access roads have more than 5 feet of snow from october to july. Thats just a road that stops a mile from it, not the walk in.

Im waiting for the new breed of elk that dont wander onto crop lands and hay fields to eat plants. Maybe elk can be infused with lichen dna so they only eat rocks?

wyo compensates for damage. Funds for compensation comes from hunting licenses not property taxes.
