Rokslide has a thread that basically says elk/deer/antelope 90/10 possible in 2024.
"On Tuesday Morning, Dr. Shaffer presented the outline of a "Grand Compromise" his subcommittee would work on and brink back to the full WWTF at the June 8-9 meeting:
Trying to think of something witty to say but all can come up with is "That's gonna leave a mark".
Anyhow, is this true?
"On Tuesday Morning, Dr. Shaffer presented the outline of a "Grand Compromise" his subcommittee would work on and brink back to the full WWTF at the June 8-9 meeting:
- Eliminate the current 7,250 cap on nonresident elk tags and go to regional management of elk for nonresident hunters similar to how deer are managed now.
- 50% Special Outfitter Draw - so 50% of all nonresident limited quota deer, elk and antelope tags, and 50% of elk nonresident general tags would only be available to nonresident hunters who had committed to use an outfitter.
- 90/10 tag allocation for all deer, elk and antelope units with a 30% or less resident hunter draw odds.
- 3-year wait period for resident hunters who draw a high demand limited quota tag - with "high demand" being 30% or less draw odds. Hunters would be able to purchase general tags during the wait period and/or apply for limited quota tags in hunt areas that were not "high demand" in terms of draw odds (31% or greater odds).
- 24-hour resident hunter head start for leftover tags.
- Increase nonresident tag prices across the board to offset any budget shortfalls caused by the above changes."
