Not on this subject where they openly tell everyone that they flaunt a law that's on the books, but mtmiller is right. If people read this and the other threads on this subject and now know it's illegal they can decide for themselves and that's always my intention when this is discussed.
First off, IF he was told that by a State Biologist, it's a shame that he was given incorrect information. No, I wouldn't try to change that law because it involves EVERY Interstate Highway in all 50 states for safety reasons. That's exactly why there are a lot of "Emergency Parking Only"...
The guide should have had that Glock on his person and in battery or at least had it in battery and had the hunter holding it after showing him how to use it. Reading the report IMHO shows the guide was lax in an area with a lot of bears. Attacks happen too fast to not have the spray/gun for...
Baloney! One way is legal and the other isn't under the Wyoming Statute and what you did WAS NOT a legal access point, so distances traveled have no bearing on this matter and to think there's no difference in them is preposterous!
Yep, it would be ironic if any of them that are violating the law get a ticket in the future, but I'm sure that would never be mentioned anywhere, especially by our top instigator/violator!
It's very depressing to me to see that people are on the net stating openly that they violate the law...
How in the world can you make that comment about intentionally violating a law that's on the books just because it might be a good thing for you to do it?!
I've commented numerous times regarding this law and all I get is that we do it because it's not enforced. FYI that law doesn't allow you to park anywhere inside the fences because that's all considered "right-of way" even if you think it's safe and have never had a problem. I have two...
You definitely have to watch for those possible land exchanges. I learned of one from a resident friend regarding several thousand acres of BLM land we hunted back in the late 90s. That friend and I filed notices at the state level that the exchange took away accessible public land and the...
From my travels and hunting the west side of the Big Horns over 20+ years straight with resident friends out there I'd go with the 39-9 tag like the other member mentioned, rather than 40-9. You can go in and modify/change to 39-9 and that's what I'd do with 9 PPs if I were in your shoes.
If he's talking about applying for 2019, that only leaves him until tomorrow night to find someone to do the resident guide thing or take the risk that if he draws he can work something out. He could apply and if drawn then go that route with hopes to find someone or just go if drawn and stay...
That's why I made my post because " does a pretty good job" like you stated doesn't hack it when we're talking about trespassing and exactly why that disclaimer is on the Hunt Planner. Sorry if it seems I'm being picky, but there is absolutely no way you can use your GPS with a landowner chip...
Quotas may go up or down, but the opening/closing dates very seldom do. If he's looking at hunting deer and antelope he can wait until after the Commission signs off and posts them in late April. If he's looking at elk with the application closing date tomorrow he'll need to go by last year...
Have you written off the unit I old you about in PMs last week that would meet what you're looking for? If you have after reading my PMs, IMHO you're making a big mistake not taking the boys there.
Yep, new this year. Like mentioned above, too many people thought buying the PP during the application period allowed that PP to be used for that upcoming draw when it isn't good until the following year and when they didn't draw their tag they were upset. Some also thought that they could buy...
In case you didn't read the following ** comment at the bottom of the Hunt Planner, it is why you need to go to the individual County to get the poop on public roads that are legal to access the public land and not use it: ** This map is for visual use, assistance, and general location only...
I agree with the other guys because 2 PPs was only a 58.43% draw last year, so I would say with creep that 2.3 may not get any this year in the PP Draw, but you might get it in the Random you would also go into.
This is a C/P right off the G&F Hunt Planner regarding 40 if you haven't been on it yet:
General Statement Regarding this Hunt Area: View the hunt planner map for available Access Yes (Walk-In-Areas and Hunter Management Areas) lands open to elk hunting. Rugged terrain makes hunting tough, elk...
