    Messing up a wet dream - MTFWP big 3 draw

    And then Gordon Darby (fka Kalkomey) takes some of that $800K to pay the influencing community that helped them get those licensing contracts with glowing reviews in the Billings Gazette and other places. Not saying it happened, but Gordon Darby has marketing dollars to spend. If Gordon...

    Messing up a wet dream - MTFWP big 3 draw

    In healthcare, we kill hundreds of Americans annually over simple medication errors similar to what occurred here. The point system debacle is a bigger reason Hank needs to go than a few ram and bull moose tags. But sure, Hank should have set up better processes. The ram/bull tags here...

    May CPW Commission meeting

    CO premium deer and elk units would be 100 point draws under a Utah or Wyoming model with split preference/bonus designs. No preference point component can exist for these types of hunt codes. They just saturate too quickly. CO understood that when they designed weighted MSG (straight...

    FWP Bonus Point Sketchiness

    Is Gordon Darby (fka Kalkomey) sponsoring influencers yet? They better or they're going to have company soon.

    May CPW Commission meeting

    Any other commissioners have any valid ideas in the hopper to get CO points used up? To get tags in hands for more dollars from those high point holders? Most of those high point holders aren’t going to “waste” their points to get out of the mess CPW created with their 40 year demonstration...

    FWP Bonus Point Sketchiness

    Several Montana based state jobs will now end up outsourced to an out of state company.

    2023 Wyoming?

    IF Wyoming is truly letting the CC banks make that 2.5% money, that is disgusting waste. But consider New Mexico for a moment. Some of us put $8,000 annually on CC with New Mexico every year. But yet NM does NOT charge a 2.5% credit card fee. New Mexico only charges a ~$69 base hunting...

    I wouldn't waste any money on points across various states - far too late for that, even at 27 years of age. Focus on one - probably Montana. And focus on wilderness backpack hunt as the only way to get away from the 4-wheelers you're sick of. Backpacking for a spike hunt can also open up...

    Curious, what got you interested in applying out west? Are you from anywhere close to the northeast? Do you apply for canadian moose in the NE states? (Maine, VT, NH)

    Matt Rinella gives a talk at Pope and Young

    My guess is Matt Rinella paid his own travel expenses (post-tax, like the common man) and food/hotel in Reno for the P&Y convention. Speakers fee from P&Y? Maybe? Whereas, his brother & Newberg travel pre-tax (deductible business expense) and are wined & dined by their sponsors when they...

    CO BHS Application vs Allocation

    Key Dates: 2018 - 2.5-3X bump in MSG apps. Because, 2018 was first year of no tag money up front. 2019; 30-40% DECREASE in apps when the $50 Res/$100 NR MSG point fees started. VERY Slick move by CPW to give everyone that free point/year for MSG in 2018. Then, when $50/$100 started that...

    ID nonres sheep/Moose/Goat apps?

    You are correct. I just reviewed all NR Idaho ram odds in GoHunt and Toprut, side by side. Gohunt is consistently showing 2-3x better NR ram odds than Toprut. Several units showing as high as 1.4%, 1.7%, 1.9%, 2.4%, 2.8% at GoHunt. But all NR ram hunt codes are 0.2-0.7% at Toprut. The...

    ID nonres sheep/Moose/Goat apps?

    NR Ram? If GoHunt is showing a 2.5% NR Ram unit in Idaho, you should ask for your money back for your insider subscription.

    Utah Done

    And that kind of thing will still happen, especially because “regular” LE/OIL tags are weighted random (bonus), NOT true/simple random (like NM, ID, AK). If a young person wants to hunt a mountain goat, put that $225 away for 30 years and put those proceeds towards a goat up north. A more...

    Utah Done

    Yeah, at $120 base license and $15/species (=$225?), you probably should stay in Utah with 12 points even though you missed that important 2009 bubble. Live in Colorado and only have 5 points? Gotta retire Utah. Live anywhere and thinking of just starting Utah in 2023? F'n crazy. Do...

    Just get MT FWP to enforce your 46x NR tag multiplier that Montana uses on some other species. New NR unlimited MT sheep tag price = $5750. ($125 *46) Should solve most of your NR problem.

    Utah Done

    Utah is cheap. But keep in mind you get next to nothing in odds for what you're spending. Unless you go every 1-3 years for Utah GS deer, or cow elk, or general elk, it's hard to see why someone would start up with Utah. Or even keep going if only have a few points to abandon. 49.9% of the...

    NR’s chance to put $ where our mouths are

    If we give generously enough, do you think NMCOG could convert more of the 84% res & 6% NR allocation to the 10% outfitter draw? And maybe get even more landowner tags siphoned off before the allocations are applied? I’m torn as to whether I should give to NMCOG or to the WY outfitter &...

    NR’s chance to put $ where our mouths are

    WGF uses the 77% number very heavily. You make a good point as to alternate funding. But the analysis only looks worse for WY residents if viewed that way because that other money also does NOT come from WY residents. $26M (of that other $31M) comes from federal aid and grants. And the...

    NR’s chance to put $ where our mouths are

    At 77%, WY is perhaps the most reliant on NRs of any state. Like other states WY needs less NR money, not more. "The department brings in about $56.3 million in licenses and fees and 77% of that comes from non-residents."...
