Wyoming 90/10 impacts
I was going to parse through it and point out all the places where "facts" and "truth" were, um, not...but then I got overwhelmed by the task. Your approach was better.- bts09

Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!
I just have a hard time believing we're at a point where so many non-residents are going to abandon Wyoming that there's going to be an impact. I mean, there would literally have to be leftover NR big 5 tags that don't get purchased by the end of the season before there would arguably be an...- bts09

Wyoming antelope hunt area 10
Man, those tags are leftover for a reason. You can get it done out there, but if you look at the map, there's very little accessible public. It's mostly in small little blocks that just have a tiny bit of road intersecting them. Just park there and walk. It will be a different kind of... -
Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!
Read that and had a similar thought, RobertD. As in, has this person ever tried to actually hunt in the west? I’m fairly new to this game (5 ish years) and even I know that‘s not remotely accurate. Then again, we do live in a post-fact, post-truth world.- bts09

Speed bumps to hunting speedgoats and other thingies
Good luck, Doug. All of us (I mean, except Buzz obviously–just kidding, Buzz) are pulling for a fast recovery for you. -
Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!
For sure. The notion of disagreeing without being disagreeable is lost on, well, most of the world these days. I'm a Texas resident. I've actually never applied for any of the big 5 in Wyoming because to me the odds were way too long and there was no way I was ever going to amass enough...- bts09

Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!
It's something many of us ponder from time to time. But I mean, there are plenty of western states that are far less generous to NR than Wyoming (and I don't mean generous in an altruistic sense). I think there's probably no risk of an act of Congress to that effect (closing federal lands to...- bts09

Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!
The 90/10 proposal may be too near its infancy for this kind of math to have been done, but does anyone know what the impact to G&F’s annual budget will be? Presumably non-resident fees will increase quite a bit to to try to cover some of the shortfall here, but I’m not sure they would increase...- bts09

Annual better luck next year Wyoming antelope post
Look, it's a tough call. There's a reason so many guys are getting out of the points game. And I completely get it. For my money, burn the points on the best unit you can reasonably get with them, and start over applying for a reasonable first choice unit each year. You're not getting younger... -
Wyoming 2021 Antelope Draw
Seems to be the way of it, huh? Easy to get what we don't really want. I'm glad you'll be out and about this season. Best of luck filling all those tags. -
Annual better luck next year Wyoming antelope post
I’m hoping all of you drew the tags you wanted. But for those of us that didn’t, I’m trying to offer a discussion that doesn’t sound like “the sky is falling” or “woe is me” or “close the borders to all non-residents.” So yeah, point creep was real. And man, it jumped this year in ways that I... -
WY 2021 deer/antelope results
This is the Texas model, because we have so little public land. If I want to hunt an antelope here, I've got to find someone to sell me a tag and let me use their place to hunt it. Years ago I realized I could get to Wyoming and back with a buck and doe antelope tags, gas for the truck, and a...- bts09

WY 2021 deer/antelope results
That's interesting. I wonder if that ever gets discussed in Wyoming. I think some people in the past have commented on here that what Wyoming probably should do is raise the tag price for does a little for non-residents.- bts09

Projected WY point creep.
I'll also be interested in whether, for those of us that did pay attention, and adjusted our strategy accordingly, well, did it work out for us? It was tough in Wyoming given the depth of the cuts. -
Advice On First WY Antelope Hunt
So, I would just use the Wyoming website map for public access. https://wgfd.wyo.gov/Hunting/Hunt-Planner/Antelope-Hunting/Antelope-Map You don't really need to be so worried about "percentage" public vs private; what you need to care about are large chunks of public that are accessible from... -
300 win for Pronghorn
Agree with VikingsGuy. Yes, it's a bit overkill, but as long as you don't punch it through the shoulder, it'll be fine. I mean, it'll be dead if you punch it through the shoulder, obviously, but you'll go from like 35 pounds of recoverable meat to 20, as that round will likely significantly... -

Does Checkpoint Violate Our Fourth Amendment Rights?
I hear ya, Doug, and look, I would have stopped (for a number of reasons). But I do think that part of the reason we have such a strong body of criminal law protections is precisely because people are willing to challenge things like this. Is this particular one constitutional? Probably, sure...- bts09
