Wyoming Non Resident Preference Point Increase

[Rich M]

Wyoming is missing out on alot of Pittman funds by not requiring a license before the privilege of applying in the draw.

Would cut down on the point collectors too. CO did this.

I have one lousy point for antelope....how many will it take to be able to draw for a decent area? Maybe not the best area but a solid one?

Go guided. Cheaper in the long run, better opportunity, less competition. Night and day vs the opening day crap on public.

Dad of 6 kids wants to take em all for a fun antelope hunt. Cant afford $500+ to buy 8 pts a yr (includes momma’s). just bought each their own tikka rifles w S2H scopes and shooting 10,000 rounds a year to be able to connect on the shot of a lifetime.

Very disappointed.

Edit - this is supposed to be a joke.

Par the course. Change the rules and raise the prices regularly.

So you just spent $6000 on scopes, at least 3,900 on rifles, 400-500 on rings, and 5,000 on ammo and a $75 preference point is the hangup?

6 kids is a personal choice that impacts most of life's other choices going forward.

Not having multiple kids is also a personal choice, one that selfishly denies your duty to those who came before you. God Bless him for it. I for one think we should be subsidizing these incredibly valuable American families. We could start by make every child's preference point free after the first.

Note to self, don't "unhide" ignored content.

I can easily afford the increase. Yet it’s still irritating. Non res get a smaller and smaller percent of tags. And pay a larger and larger percentage of the costs.

Quit donating to con orgs. Skip the banquets, drinks, raffles, etc. That will pay for the increase. Non res get the least benefit from the con orgs anyway.

Probably arguable that plenty of people are being subsidized for kids they can't afford.

6 kids each get their own rifles/scopes?

It was a tongue in cheek scenario.

Got some interesting responses.

How long you been in Utah? Six kids is just getting started for most around here. I know a couple families that can field an entire football team with a sub on the bench and dad as the coach.

But do they all have their own tikka?

Nah, most bought the Savage Axis or Remington 783 combos and then complained when the scope broke while trying to sight it in.
