Wilderness Hunting Reciprocity. Good idea?

[LostWapiti]

Wyoming should keep their rule, or just make every wilderness its own unit with no non-res quota.

If Wyoming residents want the rule, this would solve it completely but outfitters would be the big losers.

They don't always step in but federal authorities can regulate wildlife. It’s how wolves are federally protected in places.

Feds only have authority to manage species listed under ESA, some authority for migratory bird and federal refuges

All it would take is a lawsuit against the state from any NR entity to escalate. Wilderness areas are federal lands and belong to the countries public, not WY.

For about the millionth time on these forums... you are not being prevented from accessing wilderness, go walk around as much as you want whenever you want, but the state, just like EVERY state, holds management of the animals within its borders and can therefore dictate where YOU can hunt them... also, it's been tried in courts multiple times, do a little research next time.

Half of the western states would ban their own residents from hunting wilderness if they could.
