kstitz,Funny how things change your attitude when it directly effects you. Not criticizing you personally it is just human nature.
I bet if all states implemented this same law it would get challenged in federal court very quickly. Likewise if they implemented the same law on the residents it would likely cause an upraor.
It is a clear case of discrimination in my eyes. Federal lands should have the same access rules for all!
Again not in favor or against... Please keep in mind that Wyoming is not limiting your access to this land but rather saying you can't hunt big game there. The access rules are the same for all- the big game laws are the difference. Many western states are currently doing even more than Wyoming. Nebraska is one that comes to mind where non-residents can't hunt elk in the entire state. I personally feel there isn't a valid reason to keep me from hunting wilderness. However my neighbor would likely not have the skills necessary to navigate the local CRP field next to our house. A blanket rule is often unfair but I don't have a solution that satisfies all- not sure anyone does.
