    The "CWD is a HOAX" movement is building

    I live a stone's throw from where CWD started near Ft Collins. Do a search and you will find the first prions and positive case of CWD in wild game was found outside the CSU facility in Fort Collins where they were experimenting. Prions have been in our area since 1981. They had culling...

    Mountain Goat Hunt Logistics Sept ‘23

    You may want to consider timing of your hunt? It can get mighty dicey in late Sept with weather. The later you go the longer the hair but the weather generally gets worse the further into Sept. Its way cheaper to place your cape/horns/meat in salmon boxes, freeze them, and put them on your...

    Wyo outfitter landowner DIY/OYO Battle!

    If you are a concerned DIY/OYO nonres hunter that enjoys hunting Wyo I would highly recommend offering comments to the Wyoming Task Force. Some may believe that nonres should sit back and allow Wyo res to make wildlife and hunting decisions within their own state. What is truly sad is that Wyo...

    Successful draw WY Area 68 Antelope!

    Antelope can move locations from August through October depending upon water sources and snow later in the season. Last year was super dry and some areas were void of antelope by Sept while others had many. Be prepared to cover country to find the pockets of antelope if it's dry. If it gets...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    It is evident by most of the Wyo res posts that they aren't aware or could care less about revenue impacts nonres have on their state and local economies. As I've stated many times nonres contribute 77% of total license/pref pt revenue directly to the WG&F. Contributions from the Rocky Mtn Elk...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    What’s funny, a lot of wyo res don’t have the foresight to see that there will be more nonres moving to Wyo in the coming years than the few additional limited tags issued to them through 90/10. Ultimately what does that mean? With a bonus pt/waiting period they will see their odds...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    Dan, There's not much we can do as OYO nonres other than get the word out to as many nonres OYO hunters as possible and voice our comments to the Task Force. If it ever goes to the Wyo legislature we can also voice our opinions there as well. Hopefully the Task Force will keep in mind who...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    Top of the agenda on the first Task Force meeting was getting 90/10 pushed through for the Big 5. This next meeting is 90/10 for deer, antelope, and elk. Who knows what landowners and outfitters have up their sleeves? It's evident that OYO nonres hunters are getting screwed. The same thing...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    Wyo res already have good to great draw odds for deer, elk, and antelope.....and can hunt general deer and elk every year. Wyo res aren't lacking opportunity and can draw up to 12 big game tags/year. Buzz and other res often have 8 to 10 tags in their pocket each year. If you are a Wyo res you...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    So Icebreaker12, it looks like you live in PA. How's the mule deer, elk, and antelope hunting in your state and how often do you draw those tags? How many kids do you have and are you willing to fork out $438/year for each one of them just to apply each of them for sheep, moose, elk, deer, and...

    Wyoming 90/10 impacts

    On a brighter note, this has nothing to do with 90/10 impacts but has 100% to do with wildlife habitat improvement. There are several scattered counties across Wyo that are actually doing an incredible amount of work battling cheatgrass that has invaded critical wildlife habitat. There have...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    Buzz mentioned the good news above but the truth to the matter is that nonres that are flipping the bill paying for 77% of license and pref pt revenue are interested in high demand limited tags that they spend high $ on pref pt fees each year. Wyo res pay $0.00/year in pref pt fees each year...

    Wyoming 90/10 impacts

    Glad to see nonres mentioning the same things I started here so I guess I didn’t need to start a new one

    Wyoming 90/10 impacts

    It’s true that each state in the US owns the wildlife and can do what they choose with hunting regulations, tag quotas, etc. Some nonresidents believe that it is wise to sit back and allow each state to figure out their own strategies for allotting tags, etc. It is evident in my posts scattered...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    Keep making up stories and slamming me Buzz. It really doesn't matter to me. As always you know nothing about the guys that have shared hunts with me. Just because I don't post every picture of every buck, bull, doe, and cow I harvest every year doesn't mean my buddies haven't harvested...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    Grosventre, I have no idea what you are talking about in regard to the guy I hunted deer with this year in Wyo? We are best buddies and shared several great trips scouting and hunting. I will send you a PM to sort this out because things went super well?

    It still has to go through the legislature so it's still possible it won't pass!

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    It's super easy to state that residents of Western states can do what ever they want with big game in the states they live....but think long and hard about the long-term consequences to big game hunting in the Western US! What is scary is that Wyo and Colo are the only 2 states left in the...

    Wyo Task Force - Nonres Comments!

    Big fin, so you are totally fine with what happened in New Mex to OYO nonres? I’m pretty sure this same thing could potentially happen in Wyo. Also, nonres have invested up to 25 years into the Wyo pref pt system and 77% of license and pref pr revenue comes from nonres that support the WGF.
