Wyoming Passes 90/10: The Worst Article You’ll Read This Year

[tdhanses]

Yes, really.

Information age and people are smarter than you give them credit for.

I think most want to see the mountains once or twice in their life and would love to have tons of acres of public land to explore in their home state monthly. Most would sacrifice some western land to do this, blm would be low hanging fruit.

I don't agree...it's an impossible concept in many states. Unfortunately many states didn't realize what they were giving up before it was too late.

Manifest destiny has consequences...and the east paid a steep price to realize it.

To be clear, while you complain about whiners you crying louder than most on here.

Just an observation

Lol, you aren't very observant then. Care to back up your statement? Care to show me one thing in this thread where I'm complaining about anything at all? I'm happy with the system as it is today.

I'll be waiting.

I don't agree...

And you could be right, only way we’ll ever know is if it’s ever proposed to them. Who knows the direction the country will take and how politics will play out in the future.

Don’t worry doubt we’d ever see a change happen in the near future.

I support each state taking care of it's residents first and keeping hunting affordable to their residents should be the priority.

Since nr hunting has ALWAYS been a luxury, I believe that luxury items should demand luxury pricing.

I was never referring to the cost of NR tags. I was responding to a post made by another member in which he thinks ID elk tags should be increased to $500-1000 for RES hunters to offset the loss of NR tag fees. That's what I was responding to.

Again I have faith that the younger generations will make better decisions. They're more informed and can't possibly do worse than the boomers, who have made a lot of less than stellar decisions on all kinds of stuff.

Haha, the meta age. That will be who sells it if it ever happens.

Although this started as a Wyoming 90/10 hunting thread, some posts have detoured off into public land usage.

Let’s remember that Wyoming’s wildlife belongs to Wyoming. A good bit of that wildlife lives on lands that belong to everyone equally, but the wildlife itself most definitely doesn’t belong to everyone equally.

Businesses in the state will not suffer. Families on vacation in Yellowstone and Grand Teton spend far more money for gas, hotels, and restaurants than the lost percentage of NR hunters ever would. Jackson businesses will probably make more during the World Championship Snowmobile Hillclimb this coming week than they would make for most of October.

I live in Wyoming and I support 90/10.

@bsnedeker heres the definition of complaining. You can go reread some of the stuff you’ve posted and make your own decision. Not that it will matter.

So Jackson is a typical Wyoming town???? Lift tickets, French wine and granola sales will offset any hunting loss in the Jackson Hole area.

I just returned from a small UW reunion and my friends in Powell, Sheridan. Shoshoni and Cody act like Jackson might as well be on the moon or at least the west coast.

I don't live in Wyoming but I hunt there every year. I really don't see the huge economic impact. A tank of fuel, an extra large coffee for the road and maybe some grocery item we realize we forgot. That's our impact but the lady at Safeway does thank us for stopping.

No, it’s not. It’s most definitely an atypical Wyoming town.

The first time the subject of Wyoming 90/10 came up, economic impact was mentioned. So I mentioned Jackson as the most obvious example of a town that won’t feel a financial loss from fewer NR hunters. But there are other towns too.

Most NR elk, moose, and Bighorn hunting in Wyoming is done in NW Wyoming; few NRs are hunting the Red Desert elk herd or moose in the Medicine Bow. And NW Wyoming towns like Dubois and Cody are also National Park gateway communities.

The point I was trying to make was that vacation tourism is a far bigger contribution to the economy of NW Wyoming than NR hunters.

Now, if you want to argue that fewer NR antelope tags will impact Shoshoni or Chugwater, maybe you have a point. Maybe.

Good points. The overall number of sheep and moose tags is so low the economic effect is probably minimal.

I don't know if it's the same now but during my college days on the night before the antelope opener the town of Lusk was literally packed wall to wall with resident and non-resident hunters.

So the FEDERAL land's are not gone forever why doesn't Wyoming and other western States just purchase them from the Feds and then they have state land for their state owned wildlife . Seems fair to me. (The feds could hold monument's ,historical sites etc)

The states can't afford to manage them as they are now and would be forced to dramatically change the use profile of said lands in order to be economically feasible. That, or simply sell them to private owners.

 

[Gutshot007]

Why can't the state afford them ?
