Your choice to make...I like to hunt and I can make more money anytime I want. I do understand your point though, and I don't agree with the proposed new NR special tag fees. However, no doubt there is going to be all kinds of interesting opportunities to think about when most people choose to...

4-5 points and paying $1200 for a tag will get you into some great pronghorn areas in 2024 I bet.

Been a real roller coaster this season for me. I drew a random moose tag which I was excited about and did some scouting for, seeing some OK bulls but nothing big. Went to AK and beat on the fish pretty good with a few friends, caught 500 or so pounds of filets between 6 of us. Got back...

Sy and WOGA aren't getting much, there will be plenty of diy guys buying the special licenses. That's a far cry from a pool of set aside tags for outfitters clients only. As far as your asshat comment, take your own advice. I made a comment months ago that the set asides were toast...and guess...

Aged perfectly, the outfitters didn't get their set aside just like I predicted. You're chasing your tail...and as per usual dont know what you're talking about.

I somewhat agree, but I've always been a bit uneasy about tiered license fees in Wyoming. It just creates a haves versus have not feel to it that really defies the North American Model of wildlife management. I'm also uneasy about the management agencies just being run as a business. A business...

If you apply for the special draw as a NR get your wallets out. Task force recommended $1950 for special elk, $1200 for both special deer and pronghorn. Pushed by outfitters to assure their clients draw.

The problem that the GOP is having though, is that a majority of the voting public is not pro-life, but PRO-CHOICE (see Kansas). A majority of the voting public also is pretty tired of schools, churches, and concerts being shot up. Great to be strong on the 2nd, but like it or not, many are...

I would be more comfortable booking in the Yukon than AK. They manage sheep much better. I can almost bet major changes are coming to AK sheep hunting in the next 3 years and hunts booked that far out are going to be toast. I would double up on the trip insurance. If guys booking sheep hunts...

Also, there's a good chance that WOGA may run an outfitter set aside bill as well. The task force isn't the be-all, end-all, all they've done is make recommendations they have no authority to change anything.

If anyone believes that the task force dropping 90-10 means its over, hasn't been paying attention. Its a legislative issue no matter what the task force decides. Meaning that bills will continue to be tried to push 90-10, its not going away. With 90-10 for the big-5 passing, its likely going...

I can't believe people are booking sheep hunts 3+ years out and chancing the changes that are likely to come. Most deposits are non-refundable.

Won't be long and AK will be permit only. Glad I got the chance to hunt the spectacular rams in the Chugach when I did, before it went draw.

Very little beef is produced on public lands and that is NOT to say that I believe grazing should be stopped on Federal Land. Grazing done right is not a problem and should continue on Federal Lands, but maybe with a bit more thought, oversight, and at a price high enough to at least cover...

APR is the best thing to happen to Montana in my lifetime, my family donates to them every year. There's a lot of hand wringing and pure BS being pushed by Gianforte and his misfit administration as well as UPOM. The land they buy is from willing sellers, and its always a funny thing listening...

Second question, yes, yes you can. I've drawn 2 sheep tags in 42 years of applying for them. Guess what? I'm applying again next year, and the year after that, etc. etc. etc. until I'm dead. We would have to lose a pile of hunters to not sell out Wyoming, I don't see it happening. Nobody...

They aren't booked in Wyoming. Should have heard the crying at the task force meeting about having to "over-apply" their hunters to get enough to scratch a living. They want "predictability" in the draw, in other words, guaranteed clients so they can sit on the couch and watch the Flintstones...

Demand is not going to decrease and I agree that we could easily double the fees and every tag would sell. The special WY NR fee worked for the outfitters for a while, but in the scheme of NR hunting, its not even a proper rounding error in the cost. That's why WOGA is trying to get a set...

Steelbed is what I've used. As Colorado Cowboy said, don't skimp on the release agent, I use one shot and a wax on any threads. https://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/stock-work-finishing/stock-bedding-adhesives/steel-bed-kit-prod1048.aspx

My Grandfather mowed his own yard, also had a garden, and hunted every fall. When he died in September at age 85, with his grass nicely mowed and a garden full of vegetables, he had a whole pocket full of tags he would have filled in October/November. I think slowing down is tougher on a...
