I agree with this. And every Wyoming resident hunter I know also supports non res opportunities.
The way these threads go is like the residents decide this. We aren’t seeing these changes on ballots or pushing them during legislature but admittedly I don’t hang out with any outfitters. There are no pitchfork wielding resident hunters at the capitol screaming for fewer non res hunter opportunities.
I don’t know what the sweet spot is but regardless, there will be complaining, and probably still not from resident hunters.
Your BHA board chair, Buzz Hettick is one of the biggest and loudest voices in reducing NR opportunities in Wy. He is a huge reason why sheep, goats and moose have been reduced to 90/10. He is in favor of dropping deer, elk and antelope to 90/10 too. He’s pushed hard for the NR tag increases also. BHA Wyoming is no friend of NR’s and they have the ear of the people who pull the strings.
