I just filled out a survey from WYGF where they're considering options to turn WY Elk 7 into a general license area.
There were a couple of options including Type 9, Type 1, and General in different mixtures.
The survey said that objective is 5,000 elk and they currently have 12,500 elk in that unit (IIRC).
They understand that private access is the limiting factor for hunting in the unit.
Currently, they allow 5500 licenses in unit 7, which is similar in number to the number of hunters in the Snowies and Sierra Madre ranges.
