Are you on Facebook? There are thousands of residents and NR on hunting pages that are talking about this. I follow 4 or 5 of them and the foulness and rhetoric has been pissing off residents for a while. I can honestly say, if the outfitters go after a set-aside, there won't be many residents...

I'd be surprised if DEA 90/10 happens in the next five years. The big 5 turned into a big push and it was low hanging fruit. The outfitters will fight DEA tooth and nail. If it was me, I would carry on like it's not going to happen.

There is going to no recommendation by the Task Force to make DEA 90/10. But Guy was right, this is the worst article I've read this year.

You should carefully read what Buzz is saying about this, because he's right. If you want Guy or Ike to weigh in, it would be best if they were brought up to speed by Buzz first.

@todd Helms To even insinuate these hunters are "lying" without knowing the facts or having a source to verify that, you associate yourself with much of the garbage we see on social media these days. Anyone who lives in Wyoming knows the high level of evidence required for G&F to recommend...

I really wonder if you believe what you are telling everyone about waiting periods? I have looked into waiting periods in the past and found little change to drawing odds in premium areas. Let me show you what I mean: In a popular Wyoming elk area the resident draw odds this year were...

After how many threads on each hunting board, after countless times we hear Wyoming depends on NR dollars, just another comment on how Game & Fish will go broke going 90/10 and residents don't understand it. Trust me, revenue for the change has been looked about a gozillion times by all...

Generally, NR have a higher success ratio. Check out the harvest reports. So much for common sense.

There are changes already discussed for the big five that will surely be talked about on Thursday. OIL status, change to bonus points and change in allocation between random and PP to name a few. Also, how the G&F can use total tag numbers to make the random/PP split to ensure every applicant...

Without a doubt that conversion will be discussed, but where I agree with you the most is on consensus. As far as 90/10, it's time for Wyoming to get up to speed. I've never shed tears when other states changed the game on me, full well knowing it can and will happen in the draw game.

This is just a guess, but I expect the task force is going to know NR are not going to be in favor of 90/10 for the big five. Just a guess...

I am going to testify at the next Task Force meeting that if Wyoming implements 90/10, there will be thousands of NR hunters moving here. Think of the economic boost to Wyoming!

I was right there when the President of WYOGA said the outfitters would support 90/10 for the big 5. The only BS is coming from those who continue to make up their own scenario of what happened. Some form of 90/10 is going to happen and the outfitters will be asking for something in exchange...

This is all so interesting. Every buck I've taken over 80 and the same within my family, have had all adult front incisors, which means they were 4+ years old. These were taken almost exclusively in central Wyoming within an hour of Casper. Really none of this matters much to me and I am...

Almost correct. A nonresident can hunt the wilderness in Wyoming, just not big or trophy game.
