Show me a single place in the regs right now that says because you have points, Wyoming promises every hunter they'll get a tag. I'll not hold my breath, waiting for the proof. No reason for the State to make anything right, you paid for a point, the state gave you a point...exactly what you...

I think it depends on how mule deer and pronghorn respond. If downward populations and reduced tags continue for another 3-5 years it's going to happen much sooner than you think. Residents are going to get tired of not drawing pronghorn and lq mule deer in the state they live in real fast. A...

Here is what I know. There are a small number of residents that show up to meetings, talk regularly with the game and fish, attend trw committee hearings, etc. Those that are very involved want 90-10 to pass, and another group that shows up is the outfitter lobby. To make 90-10 happen, those...

Focus on other states that also limit you to 10% or less of their tags, with lower total tags available. Sounds like a solid plan.

Right, because you live in Wyoming and talk to residents every day. Many are talking about cutting a deal with outfitters to get 90-10 for deer, elk, and pronghorn. Kill the messenger and refuse to listen...fine with me. This is going to be decided by Wyoming residents, well actually it...

Right, I'm full of it. I've also heard from many non residents that, "90-10 will never pass". Is that right????? I have a pretty good sense of what resident hunters are wanting in Wyoming. They want more tags in better units and they will get them. If I were a nr I'd be for drawing what I could...

I don't believe it will happen anytime soon either. JM77 has it right. But, what isn't helping nrs is they're shooting themselves in the foot with the constant entitlement attitude regarding Wyoming's wildlife. I don't see this in any other state but Wyoming...I guess somewhere along the line...

You aren't being forced to hunt here...Wyoming should look out for it's residents first.

Even before 90-10 if you were 35 and had 10-15 points and expecting to draw a sheep tag in Wyoming in your life....you flunked 3rd grade math. There was never a promise of a tag to anyone. What everybody was buying was a point, which everyone that purchased one received. Nobody forced anyone...

I'm not insecure enough as a hunter, or a person, to believe that apex predators don't have a rightful place on the landscape. Apex predators are THE litmus test for how we're doing securing habitat, practicing conservation, and keeping large ecosystems intact. Those animals simply would not...

Been getting out a bit for ice fishing, not as much as I like...did a lot more last year. The days I've went have been productive though: MLK Jr. day...about the best Snake River Cutthroat I've ever caught: Caught that cutthroat and a decent rainbow within minutes of each other: Called...

Its not right to poach anything and anyone that disagrees is looking for confirmation for breaking the law. What I've found odd is that most of the SSS predator crowd, can't even find an elk or deer to shoot, they haven't a prayer on lions, bears, or wolves. Its also interesting most of the SSS...

I won't apologize for being too blunt, to the point, and not worried about fluffy adjectives in every one of my posts. Its odd how differently people interpret the message, and what they choose to "read" into comments, which is usually something not even there. IMO, too many people beat around...

They better also train the deer and elk to recognize their dogs aren't meaning them any harm when they run through herds of both. I doubt a deer or elk sees a lion hound and thinks it going to do them no harm. I suspect deer act less threatened with a guy walking through them than a pack of...

Once again, shows how little you know about lion hunters. I bet less than 1 out of 10 cats they tree are killed.

Selective outrage and confirmation bias combined with shooting the messenger is what your problem is. Huh, no comment on this...guess it matter who delivers the message? Yes? Exactly, other outdoor activities might bring people into relatively close contact with wild animals, but shed hunters...

Where do you suspect lion hunters run their hounds? Where do you suspect lions spend a bunch of their time in the winter? This is common sense, but I guess that's tougher for some to comprehend. Like I've said, I have no problem with shutting important winter ranges down to all human...

Yes it does. Allows us to keep those interested informed as well. This thing is creating its own oxygen at this point. Lots of attorneys are reaching out to BHA wanting to help with this. I've not seen this kind of response to a public lands issue like this, other than maybe public lands...

How many shed hunters do that? Go find a case of it and I'll believe it. I'll not hold my breath. If they do, there's already laws on the books regarding wildlife harassment that they will be prosecuted for, which are much more heavy in fines than picking up a shed. Why the need for more laws...

I talked with ScottR about this late last week. I knew about the civil suit the day it happened, but wanted to wait for the wyofile article to drop. Things are heating up, and looks like this may end up in federal court. The defendants attorneys are doing a good job. These latest moves open...
