Wyoming proposal to slash Non-resident hunters

[Steve O]

Bob, HUGE difference between drawing a NR tag and using an outfitter vs. buying a set aside tag from an outfitter/landowner.

Once the 90/10 goes thru, NR opportunities will continue to erode. You will be paying $5-10000 for those outfitter welfare tags within 3 years.

I’ve been saving my WY elk points to hunt with my son when he gets done with college. We average 11 points; I should be able to get a general tag with that in a couple more years.

I'm sure someone will be paying, just not me.

I've heard that residents are not in favor of transferable landowner tags. It probably depends on the resident.

This is definitely a double edged sword. I can see the argument from both sides and as a nonresident tend to lean towards what is best for me but I can't say it wouldn't be awesome as a resident to have your odds increase of getting tags.

Sad to see as a NR hunter

Do all of the resident licenses sell out each year? Is that the need for the increase in percentage? Or are they just tired of non resident hunters? Either way the people of Wyoming should choose what is best for them.

All WY residents can buy a general tag if they don't draw limited entry. It's more about trophy hunting than simple opportunities.
