This started out including DEA, the task force changed it to the big 5, so I call bs on your statement he didn’t care.
Yes currently you are correct, some are looking to the future, hope I’m wrong but in time it will change and tags will be more difficult. Even if DEA aren’t touched ever, we can see that it’ll get more difficult to get the few tags, reducing these to 10% will increase this much more quickly.
I get it as a resident you don’t care as this will not effect you. There will always be opportunities for those that really want to hunt, and people need to plan. I also get that NR that don’t agree are mouth breathers and your right because in the end, we have zero pull in the state and the direction it wants to take.
You can’t deny though that all these changes are about trophy hunting opportunities, it isn’t about just hunting, today it only effects the big 5. WY has great hunting period, otherwise us NR’s wouldn’t care about losing opportunities.
It’ll be interesting to see what hunting looks like in 25 years, I think we’ll see more opportunities possibly with far fewer participants, I do wonder what percentage of tags purchased are by baby boomers.
