Wyoming resident accompanying NR

[Idaho Brad]

If a Wyoming resident is going to accompany a NR hunting in a wilderness area, does said resident need to have a tag for the same area as the NR or can they have a big game tag for somewhere else in the state? I've only been able to find where is says they need to have a valid license. I also understand they need the guide license.

The resident only needs a valid big game license for somewhere in WY. Doesn’t have to be your area or even your species.

They will need your name and license number when they get the resident guide license.

A hunting lisence and conservation stamp is what you need to be a resident guide. I've done it, very simple process for the resident.

The @ExoMtnGear guys had Wyoming Fish and Game on a recent podcast. The woman stated that the resident has to have an elk license in order to take a non-res elk hunting, a deer license to take a non-res deer hunting, etc. No experience with it myself, but that is what she stated around the 37 minute mark on episode 438.

I'm curious why a NR has to have a guide or resident with them to hunt in a wilderness area??.

Everyone is curious about it and has been for decades. In reality it's to protect the guides and outfitters.

The Fair Employment Act for guides and outfitters.

I assume this was rhetorical but if not, it protects them from the DIY guys.

Not having enough clients

It protects their livelihood by forcing non residents to hire them to go hunting......

Wasn't rhetorical...I don't understand the needing a guide or resident to go in a wilderness area or forcing a NR to have to hire a guide as stated above.

It’s to encourage people to hire guides. Plain and simple.

It's a way for Wyoming to expand the benefit its residents receive from the state's wildlife. AK does something similar but based on species hunted.

Because WYOGA, (WY Outfitters and Guides Assoc) is in bed with the WY G&F, and if they want something, they get it. All this protection referenced above is protecting the outfitter’s wallets from getting emptied.
