Hoping is a poor plan. Are you saying at no point would you ever not fill your tags even if you felt WYGF were issuing to many? He's just saying sportsmen and women shouldn't blindly accept what ever GF says. We as hunters/conservationists should take a little personal accountability don't think that's to much to ask.
As it applies to this thread….
Doesn't take a biological report, just common sense.Ahhh yes…. The self righteous stuff came flying out quick….
“My standards better be your standards or you are garbage”
I’ll make sure to complete my comprehensive biological report before pulling a trigger
You are not the only one in the zones each day…. I hike around in my zones almost every day including in the winter…..and this morning after the storm……
Although the weather may be a natural cycle, the barriers, impediments, and outright habitat conversion that we've added to the landscape over the last 150 years have changed these animals' abilities to react and bounce back Antelope piled up in town since 1st of the year (obviously former winter range) elk stacked up along highways and getting pounded on the interstate and railroad, hell even our town deer are dropping or barely hanging on. Possibly vast areas historically were void of wildlife after severe winters and drought, I think we're going to see something similar for a number of years after this killer winter. I'm seriously hopeful and glad that your part of the state had an easier, more normal winter.
Is there a difference between someone getting issued a Wyoming grizzly tag only to throw it in the trash because they “feel” the department should not issue them at all, and the “feeling” that the same department should not be issuing pronghorn tags in certain units? Same biologists and department correct? Sometimes they are “correct” and sometimes they aren’t? Does that “feeling” justify someone who is against the grizzly hunt to do the same thing even though the biologists and science are saying otherwise?
Mangelsen Theorem?
Honestly I don't think I have anymore of a right to apply for that tag then the person who would throw it away. Do I agree with them no but what someone does with their tag after drawing it, as long as legal, is none of my business. Wyoming is a shining gem in the game and fish world many states GF cannot and should not be trusted. I guess I just feel we have a responsibility to police ourselves a bit.
Hell that is the best damn scenario any of us can hope for…. seriously, why would we not want this to happen?
Very good point. Might be a natural cycle, but there are literally tons of ways that man has made an unnatural mess of things…
Got it thanks!
It's a life thing (for an old guy)
All class. mtmuley
Sometimes I can’t help it. I really don’t know the guy so I should probably not say anything lol…
It’s ok…..the keyboard empowers some….
. Burn them points !
Hmm…..moose haven’t been doing good for a long time……
Very limited tags and I saw a shit ton of moose...nice try,Hmm…..moose haven’t been doing good for a long time……
Was it 2022 season that you drew a moose tag and harvested?
Rules for thee and not for me
I mean….it’s just common sense.
.
O….so because he saw a few it made it ok. Even tho the data that they are in sharp decline is out there…..hmmmmVery limited tags and I saw a shit ton of moose...nice try,
