Did a boat based hunt a while back, would only do it the same way again. The good thing about a boat based deal is if the weather sucks, which it does on Kodiak quite often, you can fish or shoot ducks. Also, if you fill all your deer tags, you can always fish and shoot ducks... Bang for the...

I've taken the last 5 or so years off from ice fishing matter of fact, most all local fishing in Wyoming. Annual trip to AK sort of tough to compare to. But, decided to start again this year and went out maybe a dozen days, usually only a few hours at a time. Did really well. Caught some jumbo...

7-08...140 accubonds....1-9 twist if you're going no heavier in bullet weight. #1 or #2 contour...20-22 inches, I'd lean #2 and 20. Nothing is a close second.... Elk, deer, sheep, moose, bear...haven't a chance.

I've had great luck with pacnor and they can do all the work. I have 3 pacnors and have had the barrels installed by them, holland recoil lugs added, 11 degree crowns, faster twists to accommodate heavier bullets, super match grade barrels...yada yada. All have shot stupid good. Other good...

I totally agree with you...just be ready for the onslaught of NR whining and how unfair Colorado is and how you're all just greedy. How much they've spent in point fees, how their odds will be crushed, blah, blah, blah.... If I were a Colorado Resident I would be raising hell and taking care of...

Saying the same thing...but there reaches a point where those with enough bonus/preference points are assured a tag. Hybrid bonus, modified preference, whatever you want to call it....same/same.

Wrong about Utah...its modified preference for all species...50% of the tags are given to the top point holders, 50% are random. Also, there is more than expo tags given and a lot of them come from and/or limit the NR tag pools. Another example of people not even understanding the draw systems...

Answer to first question is Utah and Colorado. I started applying for deer in Colorado when NR's could draw RFW tags, that door was shut. Utah I applied to gain sheep points when there were tags issued in the preference point draw, same with the couple deer areas I wanted to hunt. The tags...

NO reason to compensate anyone for anything, willing buyer willing seller and both got what was being offered. The GF got their point fees, and you got your points. There was no guarantee of anything else...including that the point system or tag allocations were going to stay the same. Changes...

Because if what I think is going to pass, it won't hurt the local economies. I think there's no way that MSGB and probably LQ elk don't go 90-10. Pronghorn, deer, and reduced tag allocations will stay the same. To be honest, if any business is going to make its living form a public asset...

Nope, not forgetting that at all. Wyoming just made a change this year that NR's don't have to buy a point to enter the NR draw for random tags. They know most NR's are pretty capable of third grade math and are going to be not buying the points. Those with 18-20 will keep buying them, and even...

Why do I find this advertisement such an appropriate response?

Wrong....its not about "putting the screws" to non residents. Its about Wyoming Residents getting the same amount of tags as Residents get in MT, ID, NM, OR, WA, ND, SD, AZ, NV etc. Come up with a single valid reason why Wyoming Residents shouldn't be getting 90% of the big game tags in the...

The special draw would have went away...one price for all the NR tags. I can also tell you that there are going to be some major changes in Colorado (from a reliable source, its already on the table), there is going to be caps on NR elk, and it will all go draw or first come first serve. There...

No, it won't. I spent some time today looking at this supposed "huge" loss in revenue under 90/10. If we kept doe/fawn deer, doe/fawn pronghorn and cow/calf elk at 80-20 this would be the "loss" to going 90-10 for all other tags. NR elk, not one penny would be lost. By regulation 7,250 full...

You think I'm anything but happy about what happened yesterday? The first time 90-10 was brought to the legislature it had no co-sponsors and didnt even get a committee vote. There were multiple higher ranking co-sponsors, a 3-2 vote (Salazar voted no with caveat) and Landen is going to be a...

Oh, its not dead at all...the message was loud and clear there is going to be changes. Residents are going to get one of or both of the following: 1. 90-10 2. No more rolling of undersubscribed R deer and pronghorn in the initial draw and allowing Resident another Resident only chance at those...

Not TRUE, resident hunters in all states were not paying attention and were sold a bill of goods. Commissions and Departments used to not be under the thumb of the Governor or Legislature. We gave them that authority and have been taking a beating ever since. Apathy and complacency has a price...

If you can find a state that offers similar quality as often as you draw in Wyoming, even at the proposed fee increases...I say go for it. Let me know what State that is and I'll apply with you...because I haven't found anything close to what Wyoming offers NR hunters for quality, opportunity...

I would point out that first off, there are no point investments in goat or bison... Secondly, anyone that believed that the point systems, associated license/point fees, were never going to change was playing ostrich. Its happened in every single state I apply for tags in that have a point...
