It because over lunch the WOGA is asking about leasing from the Task Force land owners and oh by the way they still have a mule deer spot avaible if you want to swing out in october we discuss this more. That's why they are getting the handouts.
I hope they’re not waiting until everyone is done giving their 2 cents on this thread!
Not saying that isn’t happening, weren’t there already some free trips given to outgoing commissioners? But the fix was in from the formation of the task force. It’s obviously stacked heavy with outfitter and or landowner types. Because they have the influence with the politicians to get on the committee in the first place.

I guess I'm the odd duck, but I know a guy that puts up metal buildings and is pretty handy with most construction, so one big or several small buildings on decent sized lots, live there the minimum required days to qualify for residency, plenty of scouting time. Stay enough years to get a lifetime license, then sell to the next group of hunters and repeat in NV, UT, AZ...seems reasonable to me. My boys graduate high school in 6 years so implementation is not immediate unless I can come up with a few contingency plans, but as cheap as non residents can hunt and apply here in Texas, what is the loss, especially with a lifetime license In my pocket here... Just a thought to spice up thus derailed post!
If we all move out there, we can vote the laws anyway we want given the population there now? Lolthere are only 580k people in WY, I-80 can handle a few more million people.
Yeah not how that works. You have to reside in Wyoming for the full 365 prior to purchasing your resident deer or elk license and there is no lifetime license for big game. Also to become eligible to buy lifetime for fishing, small game/bird, or archery, you have to reside here for 10 years.
I don't believe I said anything contrary to that. I've not researched all of the states, but the ones I have are 10 years to buy a lifetime, and then while you have to pay nr price for tags, you aren't subject to the nr quota. Not saying wyoming is that way, as I'm not certain, but several states are.
All that being said, I was. Being humorous with that post. Sorry if it offended...
The moment you leave the state you retain 0 resident rights. I know what you're referring to (in reference to another state) but Wyoming is not that way. You're either in or you're out. No offense taken, we just have enough folks already trying to game the system getting convicted every year wasting the time of our already spread thin wardens.
Yikes 10 years!
I bought an IL LL in 2006 after moving there just 60 days, and the requirement was only 30. Easily the best $190 investment I ever made. 
Ended up living there 13 years but moved to IN in 2019 to escape the ridiculous taxes. Not subsidizing million dollar state employee pension entitlements. But sure love huntin their public on the cheap! I earned that.
Idaho takes 6 months. Wyoming is 10 years. Kinda crazy the range in requirements state to state but I like the 10 years so people can't game the system.Yikes 10 years!
Also cashed points for a WY gen elk tag this fall. Glad I saved those as I had a son & grand daughters move to nearby Fort Collins. Will get to visit them all after hunt. And share some elk meat.
