How to end NR Wyoming wilderness ban?

Next chart: how wyoming residents pay property tax.

Nobody gives a shiit about your property taxes, exactly zero of your tax dollars go the dept. Your Legislature pulled that money several years ago, which prompted the 2.5% cc transaction fee.

Have you ever read the Game and Fish budget or revenue stream, just once?
 
Sounds like you need to get out more.

Sounds like you need to read more. The Thorofare Cabin is only 33 ish miles from the trailhead.


Also, I was just in the dangerous Washakie wilderness last week.IMG_3301.jpegIMG_3678.jpeg
 
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?
We’ve lived there before. Miraculously, we didn’t die with the recreating we did in the wilderness. Funny thing, I don’t remember five feet of snow when we fished in July and October. Nor do I remember access roads to the wilderness closed for miles.

I’m not worried about hunting in the wilderness. Pretty sure I can kill plenty of elk outside of it as well. I killed one inside of it earlier this week, with a buddy who is a resident. We got a good laugh out of the rule.

The law is welfare for outfitters, with a side perk in it for residents to have somewhere to go without NR competition. That’s it. Let’s just call a spade a spade and stop with the idiotic justifications you’re trying to drum up.
 
The best part of Wyoming300’s points is, they get us closer to this thread being locked.
The benefit for residents is maybe fewer people in there during the season and that’s why I defend it but my best elk hunting isn’t on wilderness. It’s just a nice option to get away from a few people and not hear sxs or atv’s all over.

I don’t agree with the wilderness rule but I can understand what you’re saying.

We just need to be honest with why the rule is in place and it has absolutely nothing to do with protecting NR’s.
 
Op you have pretty stupid reasoning there. We live in wyoming to hunt our $47 elk tags in our wilderness area. Im not driving 8 hours to pay a fortune for tags to hunt in a more populated area.

The law is an excellent one. Ive seen all sorts of nonsense from out of state hunters. Between driving across private ranches to getting lost in an area that is no where near a wilderness area. The issue with wilderness areas is deeper than lack of roads. They are steep rugged, and have constantly changing bad weather. Last weekend i was hunting near the savage run wilderness area. 54 degrees at 10 am. 2 pm it started sleeting. By 4 pm it was 29 degrees with sleet, hail, and wet snow. Then fog added to the mix. Continued for 2 days then back to 50 degrees and sunny.
I thought this thread had brought up some good points and pretty much ran its course, but I have to be honest I had not considered this point of view.

I will cry myself to sleep tonight thinking about my stupid reasoning. I don't live in Wyoming and am one of those idiots that wouldn't be able to handle wilderness areas with their scary weather and steep terrain so I will make sure to ask the wife to remind me to go in the house where it is warm so I don't accidently sleep outside with the chickens and possibly risk hypothermia as it is supposed to be in the 40s with some rain tonight. I just wish a politician would make a law that required me to go inside where its warm and dry to save me from my own inexperience.
