It is a factor in the budget for me but I'm not going to miss a year in the mountains because of it. I am considering consolidating a fishing trip or two though.

With support like that, there shouldn't be any problem conducting future studies, in an area with a stable population, to prove the theory correct. It makes a lot of sense but the 30% reduction in the elk herd can also explain some of the impact to the lion population, as the article pointed...

The links were Interesting reading. Our group has noticed a shift in elk behavior over the past 20 years in some areas we hunt. This may explain some of that. I do think more studies have to be done by non biased groups, on stable herds, before hard conclusions should be drawn, as was noted...

They didn't cut any tags there so would assume they are doing ok. With cuts in so many other areas I would assume you see more people apply there.

Glad to see drastic cuts in some of the areas we saw were down last fall. On a bright note, guys waiting for an area 61 tag will have more permits to pull from. Seems like the Red Desert herd must be doing better.

Or the situation changed with predators... didn't you support that?

Smh... not even you can really believe the stuff you type lol. My odds of drawing an antelope tag last year was 100%. The previous year was less than 50%. The year before that is was less than 1% in the random. I have quite a few more examples that would prove your statement wrong.

Every person on both sides of this issue understand there will be fluctuations in tags. Non-residents are owed what we were sold. Predictability and reasonable assurance that over time, our chances of drawing a tag will increase.

Misleading marketing

Jim, I used that word but the Game and Fish used the word ultimately. In either case, that is no longer true since 90/10 has passed.

None of what you typed has anything to do with my post. I think you are agreeing with me in a strange way? No applicant in 2010 thought it would take 120 years... if that were the case, they wouldn't have sold all those points.

Actually they did Jim. Do you really think I would be posting and arguing if what you stated was true? Wyoming Game and Fish knowingly marketed the preference point system as a way to guarantee an applicant would eventually draw. The exact quote reads "A preference point system will...

Seriously Buzz.... Using your logic, a person starting preference points for moose in 2010 should have known they would have to live to be 120 before drawing? There were 1247 moose applicants total applying for 100 permits that year. A couple areas took max but there were many tags drawing...

We all know it isn't in the regulations now. Neither are the advertisements that are sent out regularly in an effort to get non-residents to buy more points. The WG&F is on record stating that the preference point system will ultimately guarantee an applicant a license. That was the message...

I agree - 10% max of total tags. I believe the rest has yet to be decided.

Not at all - I don't believe it matters as long as your camo breaks up your outline. Nature has had it right all along. The rest is just companies trying to take our money. Find the kitty

I do use my spotting scope with the kids sometimes to look at the night sky. It's fun.

I actually agree with you on a lot of your points Buzz. The one I don't is that Wyoming didn't promise a tag in marketing the preference points. People may have been crazy to believe it but it's reality they lead people to believe they would eventually draw. As I said before, 90/10 makes...

I should have stated it differently. It is obvious that non-residents would be upset over 90/10 - all residents know this regardless if they are or aren't on social media. My intention was to point out that residents aren't in an uproar about entitled attitudes. I have family members of all...

Arguing with you is pointless Buzz because you can't stay on topic. I'll help. Your claim that residents are tired of entitlement attitudes was the topic. There may be a select few that share your point of view but the majority of residents really have no idea. " Ever increasing chance...
