Just keep in the back of your mind that you're not a real hunter or conservationist if you "shoot a cow out of a field"...just ask rjthe"hunter".This… had two cow tags last year and could have had three

I had four WY NR tags last year. I was suffering.I just wish there was a state with the same quality as WY that's even half as generous to NR's...
By rj's theory, my friends shouldn't have been able to find a tag here...read his OP:Look, I'm normally on your side when it comes to your feud with RJ, and to be totally honest I am on your side on this debate as well.... but maybe cool with the pics cause it comes across like you want us to measure your hog. We all measure hogs in our own way, so it wouldn't even be an accurate measurement. Some may measure from the base of the pelvis while others measure from the bottom.
I'm a proud NR Hunter. Always have been. Always will be. If there are 1,000,000 NR hunters, I am one of them. If there is only one NR Hunter, that hunter is me. If there are no longer any NR Hunters, I am dead.
Good chance I'll be back to WY for a third time in a row this fall. If bad comes to bad I'll just go fishing in Wyoming instead.
Shoulder sore from recoil, or your back from packing dead animals?I had four WY NR tags last year. I was suffering.

Why should I donate to a corner crossing cause when WY and the residents want to keep all the tags for themselves?
Then define "Benefit."
A lot of truth in that statement.I just wish there was a state with the same quality as WY that's even half as generous to NR's...
Yeah, that anyone complaining about no opportunities for NR hunting in Wyoming is a no-hunting tool with an ax to grind. He's not hunting here because he flat doesn't want to, has ZERO to do with tag availability.@BuzzH I guess I don't see any value on picking on anyone for their lack of harvest... Lots of people learning about where they hunt, how to hunt, etc.
Is there something useful you want to comment? Or just troll @rjthehunter for the HT likes?

I think his complaint is that it is increasingly challenging to get a desirable tag for an affordable price as NR. He's not wrong, especially when history is used as the datum.Yeah, that anyone complaining about no opportunities for NR hunting in Wyoming is a no-hunting tool.
Just coming up short on a hunt happens, you've missed the point.
Complaining that WY residents are not affording NR's mountains of opportunity is wrong headed and an outright lie.
Guys like rjthe"hunter" complaining because NR's have no opportunity here and that residents keep all the tags for themselves, is ridiculous.
Google would remind one that the constitution trumps statute.That's not the only hurdle... S.339 google it.
If a guy wants to sleep on the railroad tracks, don't blame the conductor when he lays on the whistle.
I think part of the point that the article was trying to make is that its not that there won't be 10 guys behind the person not willing to fork over the cash to play. It's about losing advocacy for the resource through the support that hunters provide nationwide. Less people applying, less advocacy. In my opinion, this topic has nothing to do with the cash flow into game and fish agencies. They will get their money, it just might be coming from less sources and also from less likely sources that support DIY public land types. I'm purely speculating here but in say Montana or Wyoming, isn't a lot of resident hunters the DIY, public land types? So while you may see less NR at your local honey hole chasing elk as a result, the hunter that now took that tag is sitting in a fancy lodge smoking cigars after his lobster dinner talking to his ranch landowner buddy how they can get a higher outfitter allocation using their pocket books to influence politics. Cause remember, that's the cash cow now since NR license and PP purchases aren't doing it anymore.Wake up call to the whiny poor unentitled non-residents who don't think it's fair... If you go on "strike" and "not gonna pay".. there's 10 guys behind you that will. Those high-priced NR permits will never get cheaper, and they're still going to get sold, every last one of them. For a soon to be revealed illustration of this fact - stay tuned for the 2024 drawing odds are for the WY "Special" NR elk licenses are this year, as they've risen to $2,000+ a pop. It's 2024 and the King's Deer is in high demand.

I may have missed where he said his lack of opportunity was related to harvest.
I also imagine you'd feel a lot different if you'd have invested years and dollars into something to have your opportunities cut dramatically by the legislature. I haven't (only hunted as resident in WY and MT), but it's not hard to see how things are becoming less desirable as a NR.
