    That worked out great for America's waterways and big game populations before government interference...

    The End

    I'm guessing you haven't watched his comeback episode where he straight up says both candidates are unfit for the position. His message to Americans is to continue to push for whatever policies they think are right through advocacy and hard work, everyday. That's a better message for citizens of...

    The End

    I guess if him using his influence to get 9/11 first responders health coverage makes him a political hack, I can support that type of political hackiness. The dude hasn't been pulling punches against either Biden or trump.

    Screwing over the Non-resident (or not)?

    My thoughts on WY: 90/10 Split. Double the price of my resident tag. Allow two either sex tags per year granted one is current NR price. Allow anyone (R/NR) to enter the 10% draw at the current NR price. Half the quotas on antelope doe fawn tags. Eliminate any point system in place...

    Screwing over the Non-resident (or not)?

    Are they additional tags or something? I've had our local warden call me twice to see if I've filled my tag as a rancher in the unit would like some culled off their place.

    Screwing over the Non-resident (or not)?

    Yeah, I mean it's not as nefarious as it sounds. Typically, the game and fish will try to contact active license holders for that unit and tag before just throwing out some extra tags. They've been doing this for several years.

    HB0060 - Excess Wildlife Population Damage - Not sure on this one

    @BuzzH can probably speak more to it than I can. From what I understand we do already have this program for damages to hay/fencing etc. but the owner has to provide some sort of access to qualify for the reimbursement.

    HB0060 - Excess Wildlife Population Damage - Not sure on this one

    I've had the exact same experience with the landowner assistance program. Have called multiple landowners listed and heard nothing but crickets. I'm not opposed to landowners receiving compensation, I just think this bill does nothing to help the actual issue of regionally overpopulated elk...

    HB0060 - Excess Wildlife Population Damage - Not sure on this one

    This bill passed it's second reading in the house yesterday. I'm not in support of providing landowners more subsidies without some sort of access to the elk causing the damage. Any other's thoughts would be welcome. I wrote my congressmen in opposition of the bill on Monday...

    Smith River Permit - Non-resident allocation

    Maybe I'm confusing the MTFWP guys with the feds, it seemed that the guys that checked us were Forest Service but I could be wrong.

    Smith River Permit - Non-resident allocation

    I've had this same concern with climbing crags in Wyoming. There are multiple crags in the State that I have seen absolutely explode in use the last 20 years. It saddens me to think you would need a permit to rock climb on national forest, but considering the impacts I've seen, I just don't...

    Smith River Permit - Non-resident allocation

    I had an opportunity to do the middle fork three years ago. Like an imbecile I chose overtime instead of gnar-time. Been lucky enough to do the main twice now. I have floated the Smith one time on a friends permit at super low water. It seems odd on the smith because we had forest service...

    Smith River Permit - Non-resident allocation

    I have no issues with permits or groovers on the river, it's par for the course for most popular floats. My intent of the post was a) congratulate anyone who pulled a permit and b) consider people's opinions on the fact that it's a permitted river that is allocated to 90% residents. I...

    Smith River Permit - Non-resident allocation

    Yep, and for river permits across public land, it just seems like an odd system. I guess the grand canyon has had their point system in place for a long time. Personally I'd like a pure random with wait periods for successful permit draws.

    Smith River Permit - Non-resident allocation

    Yeah, it's odd that they are getting rid of the existing toilets at the dispersed campgrounds. I'm sure there was some upkeep costs, and maybe it was effecting water quality? Having done multiple other trips on pack it out rivers, crapping in a can isn't that bad, just make sure to bring a...
