I guess it’s not cool to do this but maybe it’s good for the residents to have first pick of the sheds. I would assume they would sell to non res. Not sure.
Is the purpose to keep the money in Wy allowing res to pick first? Interesting

I guess im of the thought that you can set a season to protect the animals but once the hit the ground its the landowner that gets to decide the rules on who, kinda like mushrooms or pinenuts and collecting them on federal land is everyone should be equal. The whole start date is bs anyways as the pro shed hunters are all out now gps sheds and or hiding them to wait on opening day.

After watching a few episodes of “wardens” I realized how crazy shed hunters truly are.

And here all along I though finding one while hunting was cool enough….

I'm pretty sure the closure is only on public land in select areas.

Nonresidents will have to wait 7 days after the shed opener for residents and will also need to buy a WY Conservation Stamp. The effected area is public lands west of the continental divide.

It is certainly going to be interesting the next couple of years watching this shake out.

They won't stop raising the price until people quit paying it, but unfortunately many people will be so invested it likely won't matter.

I personally believe that the tag prices are going to have to really go through the roof before their price starts to stop hunters from applying to hunt in other states.

I look at what the price increase has been in Arizona for my javelina tag from what it was when I first started hunting them. Then I look at the reward, less than just a few pounds of meat off of one. So the reward isn't bringing one home to feed the family. I do however get to apply for other animals in the Arizona draw or purchase points in the hopes of drawing in the future.

But still when I look at what it cost to drive the 800 miles one way and hunt one of those little buggers I put the cost of the tag right out of my mind.

Like JimP, said the cost of the tag for a lot of non-residents is secondary to all of the other costs associated with trip. Inability to draw and frustration with lack of opportunity is the only thing that I think might slow down applicants, but I doubt anything will reduce the applicants enough to ever bring the tag prices down.

I bet the cost of virtually every NR tag in the west could double and they would still sell every single one.
