Don’t forget Maine moose. Just bought their corrupt politician last year.Besides, Idaho, new mexico, nevada, montana and now wyoming, what other states have some type of "outfitter welfare" going on?
I don't hunt out of state enough to pay attention to all the other states programs.
I think they did last year it worked so good that wyoming is trying to create the same program.....haha jk this is a terrible idea hopefully the outfitter pool doesn't make it farOn a different note this would be a really good time for Montana to put a non resident welcome mat at the front door in some way shape or form.

Love the boomer reference. That i’m 20-30 years older than you - does it really matter?Jesus the “boomer” stereotype is the gift that keeps on giving.
Yes younger generations have less desire to use an outfitter. A big part of that is because we have technology and access to information the older generation didn’t have.
It’s a fact, not a personal insult.
Nope it doesn’t, sorry no offense meant with the boomer reference. Just so damn frustrated by this crony BS going on in WY.Love the boomer reference. That i’m 20-30 years older than you - does it really matter?
As a kid, I was taught to run asmiths on maps using a compass and now also have a gps which does the same thing. DIY is fun.
In 2 or 3 years the guides will be the main opportunity to hunt WY. It will be a fact.

The BS in WY is the future.Nope it doesn’t, sorry no offense meant with the boomer reference. Just so damn frustrated by this crony BS going on in WY.
Trust me I wish we could go back to the paper map and compass days sometimes. The USMC made sure I was damn proficient with them.
You can come down here and I’ll take you out in the FL swamp for deer and hogs. No problemo. Or we can go gator hunting and fishing. Maybe archery if the dates coincide.Call me an jerk, but maybe you should have been as fired up over the last few years to protect your back yard and you wouldn't be so pissed about me protecting mine?
I also have zero private land to hunt because everything is outfitted. I drive between 2 and 4 hours to hunt.
Maybe shoot me a PM and we can hit that public together in 2026? I would like to check it out.

Kansas is similar, very little public land but the state leases a crap ton of private for hunting access to the public.You can come down here and I’ll take you out in the FL swamp for deer and hogs. No problemo. Or we can go gator hunting and fishing. Maybe archery if the dates coincide.
See, states east of the Mississippi dont have vast amounts of federal or blm land. It is often land leased from owners to provide access for public use.
The aplication peocess is all the same for res and NR. We apply for the same tags. The idea that res should get multiple tags is foreign and that NR should be limited is not there. That’s part of why its a culture shock. When in CO in 2019 my dad saw a bunch of mulies and wanted to go get a license, that it took us 2 yrs to draw confused him.
You can actually do better than that. Gotta start thinking outside the box. Actually get something for your money.If this does pass can we at least get the NM thing where I can pay an "Outfitter" $800 to hand me a 5 year old map, and claim he spent 2.5 days with me?
Not ideal at all and total BS but cheaper than a $6000 hunt
Haha I was mainly joking. I was looking into an outfitter hunt for my dad a few years ago in NM and got an email from a guy basically offering that service!You can actually do better than that. Gotta start thinking outside the box. Actually get something for your money.
Over 1.1 million acres, last I checked.Kansas is similar, very little public land but the state leases a crap ton of private for hunting access to the public.
Any new news?
