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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

2024 Wyoming point creep to all other state's point creep "hold my beer'.

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.

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.

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...

“My biggest fear is that people will see me the way I see myself” Thank you for sharing her insight.

https://www.outdoorlife.com/opinion/killing-cricket/ Get a dog, fail to train it, be an irresponsible pet owner, shoot dog, then act like you are 'being country' by killing the animal. Outdoor Life writer says hold my beer Kristi. I understand there are times dogs need to be euthanized but...

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...

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...

I have had some good ones. Buried three and have a four-year-old now. At 53 I hope to have two more.

I swung for the fence on all species because I already have a full plate this fall hunting wise. I think my best draw odds are 1% for elk and lower than 1% with all other species - 15 points for most species too. If I were draw it would be a good one but very unlikely.

Point creep in Utah (every state) will continue for all species and weapon choices. It is a mathematical certainty.

There are so few non-resident tags for these species none of this really matters. You are kidding yourself if you think you are going to draw one of these tags except for a minuscule fraction of nonresidents with the most points. Even if they go to bonus points or even some multiplier it is a...

I saw NM Paul drew Unit 34 he is going to be asking for everyone's sweet spots. I drove through a couple months ago so I will help him out.

Just found out I am going back to the Valle Vidal for my fifth hunt (I have never had the tag) to help a friend on the muzzleloader hunt. WHEN I finally draw it, I will be dialed in :). Two weeks in the Gila with my tag and one week in the Valle Vidal - more than I could have hoped for. I just...

Two weeks in the Gila with bow in hand.

In hindsight I think I would do a Euro, but that ship sailed. Thanks for all the input.

Good work!

My taxidermist is asking how I want my moose mounted form/position? I know I want it looking straight on but not sure about other head positioning. Anyone have a picture or form they think is a good idea? I have no idea where I am hanging it but someday, I hope to have it over a large stone...

Member, Iowan, took this beast.

Three 16A antelope rifle tags. One archery elk Valle Vidal tag. One RC Oryx tag. For my family/friend group. Draw odds have decreased a bunch since that time. I prefer to spread them out - give my group one great tag a year and I am more than happy.

The wolf in captivity reminds many of us of our beloved dogs. The wolf is clearly exhausted and appears to be in pain. For all practical purposes it is being tortured like a Russian held prisoner. Most people do not support torture. The wolf was run down by a snowmobile. Most of us believe in...

Seems straight forward to me - this guy is a stupid POS. He makes humans look terrible. I am all for regulated wolf hunting (I have legally killed one) but running them down on a snowmobile does not seem like fair chase. Thank goodness someone had the courage to turn him in and hold him...

My guess is it will be on the 24th. This is the year I draw my dream tag (ok another dream tag).

Ban non-resident shed hunting and non-residents pheasant hunting - just give us a few more elk and mule deer tags.

I was raised Catholic, attended Catholic school for 12 years, was an altar boy for six years, converted to Evangelical Lutheran through marriage, have been the church president twice, and believe that religion teaches us to generally be good people. Ushered at Easter service yesterday. The...

If there are an odd number of tags, how do you know how many are bonus versus random?

That was the biggest surprise to me - I thought they would double the late season archery tags. Low impact, low success, but likely still enjoyable time hunting. Interesting option for some low point holders (non-residents with 0-15 points) to at least be able to hunt. Might even clear a couple...

Shortly after midnight on April 24th emails will start.

I believe all the auction, raffle, etc. tags should go to the draw system - that said we should all be prepared to pay much more for our licenses. We should all (residents especially) be willing if not eager to help pay much more for the cost of wildlife management and habitat development...

Will pay it gladly to eliminate most auction tags.
