Wyoming Shed Hunting Bill Proposal

[Fatcamp]

Nothing new South Dakota has a resident only pheasant season and North Dakota has a resident only waterfowl season. I guess if shed hunting is that big of deal to a person they can move to Wyoming.

Don't forget the first month of archery deer.

I used to go out every spring with the dog and always found a shed or 2. It's gotten so stupid crazy with all the jackoff influencers I don't even bother anymore. Still go out but I'm usually bushwacking into some fishing hole. They can have it.

I assumed antlers are the new copper wire and catalytic converters to the tweakers


We know where this is heading:
Shed Hunt Areas, Conservation stamps, non resident Limited Entry licenses with a draw in January and of course PREFERENCE POINTS for antlers.

I love when the SM moguls complain about people getting out so early and pushing animals. It’s like they don’t recognize they’re the reason why people are getting out earlier and earlier pushing animals. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

I’m not a Wyoming resident nor do I shed hunt. However, if one doesn’t like their rules then stay away. It’s pretty simple. At least the Wyoming government looks after their own residents’ interests first. One has to respect that.

Just need to find a new trendy hobby for all the influencers to go do. Maybe strike up the secret Fenns treasure in a new state- or country for that matter.

You can‘t sell game meat or body parts, make selling antlers illegal too. That will stop the problem.

This makes way too much sense... therefore it'll never happen

I really wish the feds would do this for public lands, would reduce some of the encroachment into animals space after a hard winter. It’s been done for bear gall bladder’s why not antlers.

What a bunch of knuckle-heads.

Price of antler would go through the roof… making it more profitable if sold in other states. Every state would have to be on board.

If sheds were treated like bear gall bladders the problem would take care of itself.

Legal to sell bear gall bladders here in Idaho

You would need to make it illegal for people's pets to chew on bones for that to happen.

I wasn't aware of that, I was under the impression that it was a Federal law obviously intended to curb bear poaching.

Funny how guys will stack a bunch of raghorn sheds in their truck but wont shoot a raghorn....

Most of the time its actually the opposite. When you make things illegal they become more expensive. Illegal drugs are a good example of this. In Idaho a bear gall bladder is worth about $30. Nobody is poaching a bear for $30.

This bill isn’t about reducing pressure on any animal as it’s already illegal to pick up antlers in the entire western side of Wyoming until May 1st(along with a lot of wintering areas on the western side of the state that are closed to all human entry entirely). This law is about giving residents a head start to pick up those antlers. Nothing about this law “protects” animals, it’s just to give residents an advantage over non residents in Wyoming.

As a resident I totally agree. They could just make it illegal to touch any antler on the mountain for all I care. Watching full grown men go to the lengths they do for what it is......quite honestly is pathetic.

Too many needle dick pencil pushers that feel like they can grow a pair sitting behind a desk telling others what to do when really they barley have a pair of marbles

The shed hunting in Wyoming is out of control. I hate to say it, but this passing would be a blessing to us residents of western wyoming.

 

[Lawnboi]

Residents found all my spots during Covid jerk off time.

I stopped shed hunting.

Maybe if I hold my breath and stomp my feet hard enough I can convince my state to allow locals only to fish out lakes.
