    University of Minnesota develops CWD field testing capabilities

    Agree but if G&F researchers want the hunters to do their data collection it should be streamlined and simple.

    Wyoming “with preference point”

    I think preference points are now sold separately from the draw. (elk points).

    Wyoming DRAFT Quotas

    What is the rationale for that kind of change? Landowners? Or just reduce the bull population?

    And the Hits just keep on coming....WY now.

    I'm curious why the resident ranchers don't have more influence rather than "out of state ranch owners". Is the Jackson Hole and Kanye West crowd running the show?

    And the Hits just keep on coming....WY now.

    At only $53 for a tag there are plenty of weekend resident hunters who may go one weekend if the weather is nice. I lived in Wyoming for 4 years and not every resident tag holder is as gung-ho as SnowyMountaineer or a non-resident who has dropped a few thousand to make the trip. Hell, Buzz...

    And the Hits just keep on coming....WY now.

    Buzz: what is sacred about the 7250? Does that provide a budget figure necessary for the department? Why couldn't that be changed just like the 90/10 percentages?

    Elk results tomorrow for WY

    I'm pretty sure they have that information. You just have to know how to request it. WapitiBob has discussed this before. I think Toprut has that info but it is a pay to play service. You can go to their website and see some past years for free just to see if they have what you want. Go to the...

    Nonresident Elk

    Before you start down the preference point path in any state I would become very familiar with the term "point creep" and not just in general terms but specifically where you would like to hunt. A preference point has no inherent value and really gives you no "preference" but is just giving you...

    Managing the ‘plethora of riches’ -Martha Williams on Meateater

    I wonder how much is catering and how much is legislative bullying since in a lot of states the legislature actually makes the rules while G&F has more of an advisory/research and enforcement role.

    Does Wyoming's new elk results date change your plans?

    no change in plans for me

    DRAFT Wyoming CWD Management Plan

    Management plans by wildlife departments will be limited in their effectiveness until a better testing system for hunters is developed and any G&F plan is coordinated with the Dept of Agriculture in controlling or eliminating game farms. The only mention of Agriculture I can find in a quick read...

    Questions for Cow Elk Hunters

    Due to point creep in my hunting area I will probably be hunting cows forever. These have been my preferred methods. Rifle season: spot and stalk. Where I hunt they are herded up by the time we start rifle hunting so there are a LOT of eyes and noses to avoid. I try to anticipate where they are...

    A new twist in the CWD saga

    Just to make your point clear, a true negative test for cwd does not exist at this time. At the present time, a negative result does not mean with 100% certainty the tested animal does not have cwd. Correct?

    A new twist in the CWD saga

    Testing methods need to improve in reliability, speed in obtaining results and ease of testing. If I'm fortunate enough to kill an elk this fall I may have it tested just for the experience but a positive result could get complicated. I'm pretty sure I saw a CWD cow last season. She was begging...

    Montana Guide Banned for life

    You're probably right but he obviously doesn't shy away from high risk hunting behavior. He could easily roll the dice on not getting checked. I'm old enough for all of Denny's discounts and I've only had my license/tag/deer-elk meat checked once. I'm thinking if he is $50k in the hole it might...

    Montana Guide Banned for life

    I've always wondered if a poacher even thinks about his hunting rights or having a license. If you kill game illegally, why worry about a license? I'm more in favor of heavy fines and losing the right to own a firearm.

    U.S. supreme Court case - Big decision ahead

    You may very well be correct but when I hear "subsistence hunting" and "feed my family" and then whole elk carcasses are found with with no heads I think the obvious lies should be put on display. Are those families living on antlers and brains?
