I have been waiting to hear the Game and Fish response on the water project proposed in Sputhern Carbon County east of Baggs. I am very familiar with this location and was in contact stressing the amount of migration that occurs in this valley, not to mention the amount of both deer having fawns...
So the board kicked the can down the road. They said that the appraisal was too dated and not relevant and the landowner needs a new one. So it was tabled again.
Honestly. Right now in centeral
way I don’t think hardly anything younger than 1.5 and anything older than 4 survived. Both the lopes and deer I am seeing left all look to be young prime age adults. I am afraid a lot of the older age class is gone and that we lost all
Of last years babies and...
So the they have an interesting set up.
There is the one shot hunt which takes 24 tags for the competition. There is the past shooters club which takes the remaining 56 tags and gives them to people who once participated in the hunt. These are people of certain notoriety. Then the over all...
After this year, I bet all those units will take over 10 NR points to draw.
To the groups credit I think the entire program in 2021 raised about $80,000… So again not even a $1000 raised per license.
This number includes the Banquet, the Auction Items, Raffles, and more…. So again 80...
This is a an issue that is getting more and more attention. I hope all look at the hunt and realize that we should end using our wildlife for political favor and leverage. That the tags should be returned to the general public.
I am always willing to answer more based on what I know…...
So in W they are expecting over 50% adult mortality, and right now they only dropped NR quota 20%. I would suspect they might want to match.
There appears to be only one general unit in the state where youth will be able to shot a mule deer doe, that is unit 100…. A unit that got destroyed by...
Ultimately yes they are… so it will change the buck doe ratios but not necessarily the fertility and fawn rate. Also many of the general areas have implemented point restriction and as a result the restriction are moving the age class of the deer towards an age class more likely to survive the...
Sat in and commented on the meeting with Gordon. The quick summary. Things are bad and they know it. People are telling them to take extreme steps to save what we have.
There were a few comments about general deer going limited quota. Luckily the director pointed out that general deer tags are...
Hell that is the best damn scenario any of us can hope for…. seriously, why would we not want this to happen?
The anti hunters are funding hunting through buying licenses. More funding, better resource for all. Then when no one harvest the animals, the population grows and there is even more...
Don’t know that many will be able to make the 4th. Given the weather and current conditions.
I would sure love to chew on the uppers ears given the situation and the continued idea that we give 160 tags organizations that could otherwise go to the people of WY.
I fully agree. My entire family submitted comments that we need deeper cuts than those proposed. We said it will suck for a couple years but we need to just suck it up.
I am afraid I have very little faith in the managers here in Lander. They were like 20 tags here, 25 there. Nothing like what...
