    NR’s chance to put $ where our mouths are

    77% of WY GF budget is funded by NRs. Almost all western states are over 70%. An NR should give more to the state of Wyoming (and others)? NRs should give less to other states and stay home. Let the resident hunters fund their own states. Find somewhere to give, but make it in your own...

    NR’s chance to put $ where our mouths are

    Three? Nope, there was literally only 1 NR random ram tag in WY for 2023. And two NR random bull moose tags. Anybody applying for that 1 random ram tag needs their head examined. And some of those NR fools bought $150 points also. Why will a state change anything if fools keep buying?

    Utah Done

    Yes, at that point level, random drawing among those 88 guys. One of those guys with 7 points didn't draw because he was in a group application with lower point guys. Their group average was under three. He still shows up on his own line on the report.

    Utah Done

    Utah terminology is simply wrong, odd and confusing. General Deer is true preference. But the charts call them all "Regular". Guy who has been longest in line gets the tag. LE/OIL is about 49.9% true preference and 50.1% (ish) is weighted random (simple bonus). But the charts call the...

    Sure, one should do what they know is the correct application of the law. I would wonder whether one is applying the law correctly if Montana’s own software is applying it differently. A judge is very likely to be sympathetic to the hunter if he is acting consistent with the agency’s...

    South Dakota 100/0 on NR Rocky BHS tags? Why not 1 NR?

    SD - where is your NR BHS tag allocation? 10 tags, but all RES only? Again this year, SD residents are keeping all 10 Rocky BHS tags for themselves? Why? SD keeps 100% of east river deer tags for residents. And you were SO vocal in early 2023 about uncapped NR archery deer tags in west...

    We could really use a llama meme right now. Unless we have llama sponsors. In which case, no llama memes

    Application futility

    Sure, because quotas aren't set yet, WGF would have to use a Colorado-type message and use last year's NR tag data. To warn user, "there were no NR random tags for this code last year, are you sure you still want to apply for this hunt code?" It is a nuanced correction. Multi-faceted. Does...

    Application futility

    The software alert message can explain that issue to the user. "This Wyoming hunt code had ZERO non-resident random tags available to non-residents (like you) last year. While this hunt code did have X NR preference tags available last year, they were drawn with non-residents with greater than...

    Application futility

    WGF software allowed you to apply for a non-existent tag. Apologies on behalf of the state of Wyoming for stealing your money. For WGF bad software that would allow you to make this common error. Especially common in years with allocation changes and complex design. Next year, I recommend...

    Application futility

    No one would intentionally do so. We use software today so that cars drive themselves. But Wyoming can't develop software to remove a unit from an NR's drop down list? Or warn user on screen that no NR tag exists? Or that no random NR tag exists? Or didn't exist last year. Utah, Colorado...

    Application futility

    Speaking of futility, Wyoming let's the user process an application for moose & sheep tags for units that will not even have an NR tag the user has a chance of drawing. It's 2023, shouldn't we be able to rely on WY GFD software to treat the customer intelligently and honestly? Most other...

    Application futility

    Apply only? Or point also? Guys on the sideline are always a concern, but we already know he is 1 point behind actual applying folks. And, we have seen the creep on ram/moose in the last few years has been very significant (since task force). He could easily be 2 points out of the running...

    2023 Colorado Sheep & Goat Results

    True, had to send in the full $1800-2200 per species in those days and wait for each to be returned, one-by-one, weekly, via check. But no withheld exorbitant processing fees. And ram and billy points were both free at that time as long as you applied. And didn't have to have a qualifying...

    Application futility

    The WY 22 point ram guys are the group I feel for the most. I would probably give one more app, but probably would NOT buy a final $150 point. Just too many guys ahead of you as above. And then, apply every OTHER year going forward for that 1 random ram tag so your points don't wipe out...

    Application futility

    NR? You have 22 NR ram points for 2023? You drink whiskey - lots of it. Many ram applicants failed to draw preference tags in 2022 with 22 points - the lowest level any preference tags were drawn. Those guys have 23 for 2023 and will draw before you. And other higher point guys are...

    Podcast literally hosted by the wool industry, (ASIA) Margaret Highland takes money from ASIA, others in the wool industry and the North American Packgoat Association. Every paper I found with her name on it was funded by the wool industry. She has picked her side on this issue. Amazingly...

    Application futility

    You are a smart man. For NRs and random tags, WY sheep and WY moose are now the worst investments in their respective categories. But if one has already applied in every single other state, then sure, apply in WY. I feel bad for the NRs that applied early before fully understanding what has...

    2023 Official WY NR Antelope FAQ

    A person with unlimited funds can apply indiscriminately in that fashion. But most of us apply with some cost/benefit analysis in mind. And WY moose (random tags, for guys less than about 21 points) is now the most expensive moose application (for what you get) . It is greater than $100 for...
