    Green River Harley Davidson jumping in with the anti hunters...

    Maybe we should cancel them for being against animal cruelty. “It doesn’t matter what side you’re on when it comes to the issue of wolf repopulation in Wyoming,” he said. “The reason we hopped on board with this is because it really doesn’t matter whether you are pro- or anti-wolf...

    Wyoming Non-Resident Random Moose

    I am not easily offended :) so it is ok. I am aware there were changes to 90/10 it is just stark to see it in the spreadsheet. I did not know it would reduce the # of random tags to uno. This does likely help explain why 1,436 non-residents front the money for 0.07% chance to draw - they did...

    Wyoming Non-Resident Random Moose

    https://wgfd.wyo.gov/media/30105/download?inline Did 1,436 non-residents submit payment of $2,750, pay the processing fee, pay their credit card interest for a 1 in 1,436 chance to draw one random tag in Wyoming in 2024? 0.07% chance to draw a tag? I cannot be reading this correctly. Wyoming...

    Draw Odds Effect From Special Draw Price Increase

    My preferred unit special 2023 8 pts 100% 2024 10 pts 67% 2+ point creep and a much more expensive tag. I think this has a lot to with higher point holders/buyers worried about a change to 90/10 for elk thinking they better burn their points now. I think many that know this unit also saw 8...

    ISO Elk guide/outfitter

    I believe these are your three options: Rifle Cache, North 2nd Rifle Cache, North 2nd Rifle S Slope, Diamond Mountain With point creep you are five to ten years from adding anything much better. Point creep will accelerate significantly as the 'bubble' of non-resident point holders at 15 moves...

    Elk antler poacher fined, loses hunting privileges for 3 years

    Does it really matter that he picked these up? If he did not pick them up someone else would have picked them up. In the end is this really a big deal? I know he broke some rules but what is the harm? The antlers were going to be picked up and sold one way or another. Rules are meant to be...

    WY adopting Idaho model for Big 4? Must choose ONE species! TRW committee working group 5/14/24

    https://wgfd.wyo.gov/media/30105/download?inline Am I reading this correctly that Wyoming currently has one random non-resident moose tag? Just make it 0 already and put these people out of their misery.

    2024 Results

    My brother has now been unsuccessful on134 applications in Utah. Admittedly this year we swung for the fences with tags in other states in pocket already so not a surprise. That number could easily grow to 200+ before he is able to draw a decent tag.

    Results tomorrow?

    There may not be an incentive for really anyone, but there are more people buying them now than ever. Look at how many people are buying their first point - 2,268 who should know they will never draw a moose tag - not even a cow tag - spending $150 annually. A total of 12,151 non-residents...

    $150 NR tickets for violating Wyoming Wilderness rule (12 tickets in 10 years)

    I agree 100% it is a dumb law - 0% chance it will be taken up by the US Supreme Court. I speed from time to time and know if I get caught, I will have to pay a fine - this law is generally the same deal. I have never violated it and likely never will but to those that do not a big deal. Great...

    What's everybody in for now thats is done?

    The State of Utah has some smart people that made the decision to let NR apply for all species. Make a lot more money and issue no more tags - zero chance they are going to change this money maker. I buy points for all species, and it is possible I will never draw another Utah tag. It did not...
