Wyoming LO tags on the table

As a nonresident, I fully support it. My opinion influences the outcome 0.0%

Yea as a resident I don’t like it. I have this and another bill I need to voice my opinion to senators about. Both see to be money grabs

Yeah this has little to do with us nonresidents, we don’t vote and whatever happens happens.

As already covered by others, it's a big difference if the tag is good off the landowner's land and the landowner doesn't allow hunting on their land with said sold tag.

Trespass fee is one thing. The actual tag is another. For one, it's a whole different revenue source but more importantly it can impact the access/availability/opportunity of the unwashed masses depending on what/where the tag is valid.

I have fewer gripes if a landowner tag is only valid on landowner's land.

Back in the day there was a loop hole in Colorado where you could buy a LO tag and use legal actions to hunt their land without permission. The good ole days

Can you please clarify? I'm interested in the loophole.

Just messing with you. It wasn't a loophole and it's still legal to this day I believe. If you buy a voucher, it grants access to the land that qualified the LO to apply for the voucher.

As to Wyoming and transferable LO tags I really don't care.

I haven't checked lately, but I believe the current landowner tags in Wyo. are only good on the land of the rancher. My neighbor used to get 2 elk and 2 antelope tags and he and his wife only used them on his land fwiw.

Landowner tags are just regular LE (or reduced price) tags taken from the quota for that hunt area. Why would a private landowner want to hunt with the masses on public land when we all know the animals run to private on opening day?

I see the bigger problem with Wyoming landowner tags is in the hunt areas where a lot of landowners meet the eligibility requirements and all apply. That leaves fewer tags in the LE draw for residents and non-residents. If there is a financial incentive for the landowner then more would probably apply, further reducing the tags available to non landowners.

Yeah but really not a nonresident issue but for maybe a few thousand people.

If anything it may open up more access for a nonresident to get a tag.

Seems like a resident issue to me.

I agree. I don't care what they decide.
I was just pointing out that the Wyoming landowner tag system does affect some areas more than others.
