Do you live or work in an industry that deals with BLM lands in the west? I do. It's a total disaster. Your tax dollars would certainly do more good in your own pocket.
But isn’t that case just based on allocation of tags only? Or does it cover the financial investment as well, I think the only case if there is one would be the predatory actions of the state to obtain NR funding fully knowing there is plans to make opportunities behind that nonexistent.So it was the Terk (David B. Terk, a Texas resident and hunter) injunction. Yes it impacted residents negatively for a long time but ultimately it was tossed.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, MARCH 24, 2014:
COURT RULING GIVES NEW MEXICO RESIDENT HUNTERS BETTER ODDS IN DRAWINGS FOR BIGHORN SHEEP, ORYX AND IBEX
ALBUQUERQUE – New Mexico resident hunters scored a big victory Monday with a U.S. District Court ruling that allows the Department of Game and Fish to reinstate quotas that give state residents a big advantage over nonresidents when applying for bighorn sheep, oryx and ibex hunting licenses.
“This is an important decision and a huge win for New Mexico hunters,” said Paul Kienzle, newly elected chairman of the State Game Commission. “It’s been a long fight, but New Mexicans now have a good shot at those quality hunts, as intended by the governor and the state legislature.”
Monday’s ruling by Chief U.S. District Judge Christina Armijo vacated a 1977 injunction that prohibited the Department from applying preferential quotas that benefited state residents in the drawings for bighorn sheep, oryx and ibex licenses. Because of that injunction, nonresident hunters enjoyed equal odds with residents in the annual drawings.

from Buzz on this but I’m sure a few wealthy individuals that have been investing for the big 5 will be angry enough to spend a few measly pennies of their wealth to look into this.What you're proposing would be in line with suing a state lottery because they didn't sell you the winning ticket.
Nrs lack of 3rd grade math skills is not the State of Wyoming's problem.But isn’t that case just based on allocation of tags only? Or does it cover the financial investment as well, I think the only case if there is one would be the predatory actions of the state to obtain NR funding fully knowing there is plans to make opportunities behind that nonexistent.
Now we know I’ll get a
It do two things, delay any changes to DEA or possibly put a financial burden on the state, there is also the possiblity people just throw their hands in the air and walk away, the hope of those that pushed for the change is that this happens.
In the long run though it won’t matter in the end even if WY takes a financial hit, they’ll recoup what is lost and residents will have a slight increase in chance for a little while. But then again resident opportunities are already decreased by other residents that have held the tags previously and are also now in the draw again, I’m surprised residents aren’t pushing that these tags become OIL for residents to boost opportunities for residents that have never drawn.
True but 95% of residents in most states would have no where to use their tags if they didn’t have federal public lands.
Fair enough. I dont blame you or begrudge you or any resident your tags. Like i said in a different post, its the clown(s) leading this charge in wyo. Hands out for money and support all the time.
Right, when you were shaving this morning.
Buzz is just making fun of you since you arent a resident, and only hunt a week per year in the west.
Do you really think states don’t have any possible liability?
Oh I know, he’s the bully that is always right.
Exactly, the pace with which point creep accelerates is what produces those numbers over time.
Absolutely. When i saw this thread yesterday, my first thought was how long it would take for him to jump in and tell everyone how the article was wrong and everyone involved was an idiot.
If they're wealthy they're buying governors tags and/or hunts every year....no reason to waste time applying for 120 years to still come up short.But isn’t that case just based on allocation of tags only? Or does it cover the financial investment as well, I think the only case if there is one would be the predatory actions of the state to obtain NR funding fully knowing there is plans to make opportunities behind that nonexistent.

Good on you, that’s commendable to be so selfless.
Nope, unless you live there they want you out, next they’ll probably propose moving the Interstate out of WY to keep others out
or put a NR toll on it, why not make NR pay for their roads.I'm the case of a willing buyer purchasing a point they received... absolutely no liability. They got exactly what they paid for and there was no promise or implied assumption that allocations would stay the same. No assumption tag numbers would stay static. No promise the point system wouldn't be done away with (which happened in Montana in the 1970's).
Yeah your the seller advertising a good and opportunity to drum up a willing buyer, once you sell it you can’t change it. Kind of like selling a new Range Rover yet giving the buyer a Pinto. Wonder how many other states have collected as much in prf pt fees and then in essence removed their opportunity unless they have 24 years in the game, be different if the state didn’t charge for this stand alone.
