No it does not mean that. There is going to major hurdles still as the Dept. is not on board until the BLM is. Also, the area landowners are not happy at all. It also isn't a good thing that livestock is taking precedent over wildlife.

Tough to predict, but I would guess in order of toughest to easiest to draw: West, South, East.

Yes, for this coming season (2024).

Yep, 3 NR general regions, passed at the commission meeting in Wheatland. Region quotas on last page. https://wgfd.wyo.gov/WGFD/media/content/PDF/Regulations/CH-44-07-27-2023-7-FINAL-Clean-Signed.pdf

Friends and I made it tough on the elk last week. Went 7/8 with only one bull tag not filled. Even then, we had 3 good tries at filling the last bull tag, but my friend is going to come back later this month and give it another try. Anyway, we had one really good day, took 5 cows and a bull...

I think the increased special fees will change things, that's going to be tough to predict. I would think $1200 for a deer/pronghorn tag is going to cause some to pump the brakes on applying special. I would also predict a 1-2 point reduction in point creep in many pronghorn and deer units. I...

No offense intended, but I'd guess you have more money than time left to hunt. I also tend to agree with your post that the prices in Wyoming are pretty steep for the special fees. It's a tough decision to make whether the special fees are worth it.

My Dad's buck he shot day before yesterday in Montana. Great buck that never set foot in an agricultural field it's whole life. True of all 130+ whitetails my family has killed in Montana. Just a way different deer that live in that country.

Wyoming bull.

Here you go, Ryan Semerad, the lead attorney for the Missouri hunters lays it out on what he thinks in regard to precedent, etc. https://justiceforcowboys.com/2023/06/16/semerad-on-wyoming-corner-crossing-case/ I have not personally talked with any CA's, but I would be shocked if you could...

Another win for the good guys... https://wyofile.com/judge-rejects-request-to-halt-ruling-that-corner-crossing-is-not-trespassing/

Stay tuned on that, we will be raising some additional funding for the 10th appeal. Thank you for your support that has achieved the great results we've had so far. You should take a bow, without guys like you, this would not be going the way it is. Thanking you again, really isn't enough...

Going to the 10th circuit, Eshelman appealed Skavdahl's ruling. We have commitments from the hunters attorneys on a price for both the 10th circuit and the US Supreme court cases (if it goes that far, pretty narrow window that it will). Its not free by any means, but not as steep as I would have...

We've had CWD in Wyoming since the 1970's, this was just in an area that they never had found it.

So many variables, conditions being the most important. There are days hunting in Wyoming, I don't feel comfortable much past 200. Shooting in 40-50 MPH sustained wind is no joke. Plus, how often do you shoot full value wind? Not often in my experience. Wind is voodoo, bullet drop is physics...
