Teacher Concealed Carry Law in Idaho
WOW. Lets really look at this issue. First of all School Carry has been allowed in Utah for years. My own children attend a school district in WY where the staff are allowed to be armed(and there are some) under certain rules and training. But lets look at this through the eyes of a teacher. As...- WYelker

Devaluing Non-Residents
Or the other is that many kids who are interested can find a way to get into the game? With the different opportunities, with the state youth programs, with the tag set asides for youth, etc. Most people today can figure out how to hunt on their own. 10-15 years ago that task was more daunting...- WYelker

Fire Prone and Fat Animals - What This Whimpering Winter Might Mean for Wyoming
Yeah I am saying the article is kind of a nothing burger. The deer left are healthy, the range is still in good condition from last fall. I was commenting on the Fire fears and the "pending" drought fears. This winter has been easy but I was taking the issue as this summer will be bad. My... -
Fire Prone and Fat Animals - What This Whimpering Winter Might Mean for Wyoming
Sorry but this is nothing burger. Since this story we have an awesome storm. Is there reason to be concerned for a few areas, sure, but there are other areas sitting at 100% and 90s etc. It is way to early to hit the panic button. Still lots of spring left and the snows that just hit had a ton... -

Deer, Elk, Antelope Same Unit….
Pick the best draws for each animal. There are not very many units that are great draws for all 3…. I can only think of a handful of areas that I would want to try and hunt all 3 on a draw. Now there are some good option for the general tags, but why waste draws? I can think of units that are... -

Any winterkill area hunt recaps?
I was just over the border in WY. One unit cut all pronghorn tags. 100% cut no tags at all. Other units saw 50-60% cuts and they were not enough. This year was horrible in all the areas known to have been hit hard. The unit I had, I have had 3 times in the last 5 years. In a normal year I was... -
Colorado Lion and Bobcat Ballot Initiative Update
Here is what I found in a little research. In California they legally kill around 100 lions each year for depredation concerns. Then they have an additional 1-2 lions killed by vehicles each week. Putting these 2 causes of human mortality at 178 lions a year. I found an article stating the data...- WYelker

How to decimate a mule deer herd: A case study in Wyoming
I agree with Buzz. It is seemingly pointless to speak up in most cases. I have sent tons of emails to the commission and even to bios etc. They are ignored, dismissed, or as another person mentioned... Vanish into thin air. This happens all the time when you speak with the commission or with... -
60 Minutes Wyoming Green Energy Segment
As one other poster mentioned. None of this is about the environment, it is about power and money. I point to one glaring example of this issue... The BLM office in Rawlins, WY was revamped under some former presidents investment policy. Bush or Obama, does not matter. But when they did the...- WYelker

Don't worry they have solved the wind blade recycle issue. They are excited for this solution... They are taking the wind farm blades and burning them for energy to make concrete.... Yep that is great green energy. Burning Fiberglass has to be awesome for the environment...- WYelker

No this was way south of the checker board. This spot happens to be state land. But the roads were built across a bunch of BLM as well. There is checker board to the north but they have built this road down through Colorado and Utah as well. On the BLM they tried to follow existing utility right...- WYelker

Interesting they are building a massive wind farm without a single contract to sell the energy produced? What company can afford to invest that time/money/resources without any guarantee? The entire thing is a disaster.... FYI this is the power transmission line. These photos were of a rare area...- WYelker

HAHA. What ever you want to tell yourself. It is a factor if it was not a factor why has Colorado not went 90/10 for all draw licenses? Sorry but $$$ is always part of the decision.- WYelker

Anyone actually buy the idea that the wind farms are good for grouse? It seems funny that oil and gas has been blamed for decades for having negative impacts on Sage Grouse, but somehow power lines, roads, and windmills actually increase grouse?- WYelker
