Many of the tags returned wouldn’t have enough quantity to warrant a NR tag if it were subject to the allocation splits in the primary draw. If that’s what direction they go I don’t see a problem with it because Colorado should consider it’s tax payers first. BUT, in my opinion, why not just say...
It truly is amazing to think back a couple decades and the numbers of antelope/deer across eastern wy compared to taking that same drive nowadays. I 100% believe that this is the golden age for elk in wy and it may never be as good as it is right now. One only needs to look at deer and antelope...
I was kind of on the fence with the original 13 region proposal and could see the benefit if managed correctly. When I saw the change to 3 regions it was an immediate no go for me and I could see no upside.
I haven’t heard, but any discussion on why did they scrapped the original regions and reduced it down to three? Seems the original proposal would have given G&F more flexibility at managing NR hunters.
