But I think that’s why he’s using the term “privatized,” no? The tags aren’t available in a public drawing by and large. There’s a landowner/outfitter gatekeeper involved. His point is valid.
I, too, have a pair of LaCrosse hip boots that have worked well. They did a lot better than my buddy’s two contractor bags and duct tape idea. More expensive though.
This conversation has me wondering about the future unintended consequences. Let's face it... the American worker/retiree is more mobile now than ever. If states continue to trim nonresident hunting opportunities, how many of those nonresidents simply choose to become residents? I think 25 years...

Geez, man. Take it easy. You done messed it up for yourself creating expectations and what not. If you do this right, you’re not supposed to be good at anything.
You know, I think about this often. For years I would’ve said either a multi-specie Alaska (must include Dall) hunt or multi-specie combo in BC (to include Stone sheep) would be my ultimate. Either would still be just fine with me if someone handed me the voucher. But… my focus, lately, has...
If I’m taking my boys, I just focus on their tags and do not try to party app and get a tag for myself. There are so many good youth opportunities out there that your biggest limiting factor will be their time. Between half-price guaranteed combo licenses in MT, discount tags in WY, discount and...
I’m going to test the theory that unguided nonresident elk hunters in WY will be reluctant to apply in the special. I suspect I will be disappointed, but I’m gonna give it a whirl. I’m also sitting on max WY deer points for some reason. Those will be put at risk in the special, as well...
