You bring me a real scenario that benefits wild sheep and we will both find out where my line is located. Nothing is black and white like you and Treeshark want to make it, but I have yet to see a private transferable tag program in which the juice is worth the squeeze.

I wish I could because you are absolutely right in that no one has done it yet. The "juice is worth the squeeze" is exactly what I wanted to point out to this conservation and it doesn't exist yet. But maybe it could.

A NR landowner can get the same tags and transfer them as they see fit

I see the bigger problem with Wyoming landowner tags is in the hunt areas where a lot of landowners meet the eligibility requirements and all apply. That leaves fewer tags in the LE draw for residents and non-residents. If there is a significant financial incentive for the landowner then more would probably apply, further reducing the tags available to non landowners. There probably needs for be a cap on landowner tags, maybe only one tag per owner if the eligible owners reach a certain percentage of the quota.

I need to take this back. I think the program Kentucky created with elk and the landowner vouchers is one of the main reasons for why it's been such a successful expansion of the elk there. The juice is worth the squeeze

A compelling argument could be made that NM’s landowner tag system is certainly worth the squeeze for their elk herd as well.

I’m surprised the writer even brought NM up as an example, as it is widely thought to be a very successful program overall.

How? Prove that hypothesis?

You could start with comparing the elk herd numbers from past to present. Then you could also look at available tags in the draw from past to present. Both are increasing.
