    Day Trespass fees for turkeys and deer

    Guys offering to pay trespass fees is a drop in the bucket vs outfitters going door to door offering leasing right $. My guess is that outfitters have royally screwed things up across the Midwest and West vs a few average joes asking permission and offering small trespass fees.

    Big Bullets for Big Animals?

    According to posts by the 6.5 fanatics they can lethally kill elephant size game at 500 yards with pin-point accuracy! Elk-sized game drop like a jackrabbit!

    Coastal AK/BC goat hunting seasons

    It really depends on a backpack vs boat hunt. 2 completely different scenarios. I can’t imagine hiking through the jungles along the coast trying to get in the alpine once snow starts accumulating. If you are on a boat hunt it likely is good to have snow to bring Billie’s down from the alpine.

    Wyoming's largest land owner proposes land swap with BLM in Carbon County

    Maybe worth a compromise rather than completely robbing the best areas that the public currently can legally access for desert acreage. How about the total opposite. Filling in some of the public areas with additional blm that currently exist in the Freezeouts and other prime habitat in...

    Wyoming's largest land owner proposes land swap with BLM in Carbon County

    A better proposition for the public would be to increase the HMA acreage in some of the areas on the east side! This current public land would be totally lost with the swap. Having the entire east side off limits to the public will provide a giant private elk haven with no hunting pressure.

    What The Hell is Science-Based Management?

    I've spent a lifetime working on invasive range weed research and management. Here is my take on science-based management scheme. There is a lot involved with sound wildlife and habit management; politics, predators, disease, biology, ecology....the list goes on and on. These all are...

    Mt goat release NV East Humboldt Range

    There have been several wild sheep vs lion studies done in NMex and Calif. Lions can really dent wild sheep populations.

    Mt goat release NV East Humboldt Range

    I was talking to an Alaska bush pilot that helped with dall sheep surveys in the Chugach. He said they had collars on a bunch of sheep and that’s where they got golden eagle predation numbers.

    Bighornram, do they have any collars on goats? That seems like a starting point.

    Mt goat release NV East Humboldt Range

    It sounds like a lot of unknowns in BC. Ther are a number of articles about declining dall sheep populations in Alaska. I’m not sure if similar things are occuring with goats in BC and elsewhere? In some regions in Alaska, part of the blame is golden eagles and also warm temps raising the...

    Mt goat release NV East Humboldt Range

    Here in Colorado the CPW has strict guidelines and borders on where goats are allowed. If goats wander outside prescribed goat units, they are culled. Generally, the borders are where sheep and goats coexist plus the Indian Peaks, RMNP., and a few other areas. Mt Bluesky and a few other...

    Mountain goats are ferocious!

    Mt goat release NV East Humboldt Range

    Its a bunch of bullcrap using the salt-lick aggression approach to exemplify the idea that goats are aggressive and displacing sheep. Obviously the salt lick deal may happen from time to time but that is the one and only significant case there is for goats being aggressive that I’m aware of. I...

    Mt goat release NV East Humboldt Range

    It's great to see an iconic species supplemented and re-introduced into locations in Nevada for everyone to enjoy and possibly someday hunt! Unfortunately, in states like Colorado and Washington goats are often considered a nuisance and invasive non-native wildlife species. Often culled in...

    SF118 Action alert big bucks for big bucks take 2

    If you asked Wyo landowners with less than 640 acres if they would rather have a quota on landowners tags or would rather go with a 640 acre minimum to qualify, which would they choose? My guess is that smaller acreage landowners would leap at set landowner tag quotas rather than being suddenly...

    SF118 Action alert big bucks for big bucks take 2

    Elks brings up several good points. First and foremost there needs to be landowner quotas. There currently are none. Every available tag in a unit can go to landowners prior to the draw. A quota would prevent the sub-dividing of property and many other problems. How on earth would...

    If LO really want additional tags make them available for private land only and through the public draw. The PLO tags in Colo usually have better draw odds and relieve hunting pressure on public land. There is no need for transferable tags if there are PLO tags available in a public draw.

    SF118 Action alert big bucks for big bucks take 2

    How much of Wyo will be sold off into 160 acre pads so that wealthy res and nonres hunters can apply and receive tags every year? My guess is that if the tag is only valid on the private property of the owner that this would curtail some of this from happening. It also would put more hunting...

    I agree that the best thing Wyoming can do is prevent transferable tags from infiltrating their tag system. It's also important to change flaws in the current system that may nip Wyo residents in the butt in the coming years!

    SF118 Action alert big bucks for big bucks take 2

    The root of the problem is the current flaws in the landowner license policy. Unlimited number of res/nonres landowner tags taken off the top of the pile prior to the public draw. With that said, transferable landowner tags will impact both res and nonres, especially with the current system...
