Devaluing Non-Residents

[BigHornRam]

I wish lol. When you put it like that it sounds like a porn name.

Come on mudranger. Kill this sucker!

The pint night of 307hunters playing pass the cracker. No thanks, I'll pass.

I mean why would anyone want to go attend a meeting to listen to a bunch of blowhard's rant about their lack of opportunity and how NRs are diminishing their ability to draw their 10th big game tag that year?
We can all just sit in our slippers and view their hatred of NR's from hundreds or thousands of miles away. No sense in being in person to have someone throw that in your face. lol

Funny how many meetings I have attended in the 307 and never heard Wyoming resident "blowhards" rant about lack of opportunity because of nonresidents. I've never witnessed at meetings or anywhere else "hatred" towards NR. Do Wyo Residents want to be treated the same in their own state as other states treat their residents; damn straight.

You and others on here are the ones spewing the hatred. You just made that shit up, plain and simple. The real truth is, you bitch and moan until Wyoming residents like me finally say "you don't like it hunt somewhere else" or " want a general tag every year, than pay your dues as a resident". If you want to cry about the special fee increase, cry to who pushed it. It wasn't resident hunters.

10-4. Buzz was being his usual abrasive self about 5 years ago on a thread similar to this one, when I was thinking long and hard about where to retire, when that day arrives. He definitely convinced me what state is #1 to be a resident of. Couple more years and it will be a reality.

Meh, you've already missed out on the good old days...and speaking of old, you're getting too old to hunt anyway. Make sure to bring the life alert and don't call me if you break a hip.

NR to be considered

It's been spelled out to you over and over again how NRs are highly considered.
You just think your entitled to more and you base that on what? Because you pay for a tag and points? Ill ask buzz to push legislation for participation trophies for NRs maybe that can appease you.

Elk population is going up, NR opportunity is going down.

Do you want to know how many more general NR elk licenses will be issued in 2024 compared to last year? Oh about 900. Do you know what the LQ tag allocation is for Wyoming elk? 84/16 and it's been that way for decades.

Too late. I'm grandfathered in.

Alright I'll allow it.

Is there a pun there, old timer?

 

[BuzzH]

Alright I'll allow it.

Objection your Honor, we need a vote on that.

Sure thing, I'll also accept public comments and do nothing with those too.

Wyoming still sells NR's moose and sheep points.
When I mentioned earlier in this thread about WY selling useless points, the response I was met with was "well, if they're stupid enough to buy them, then let them."

Being on a hunting trip is always exciting. No one should be upset about hunting. It's just unfortunate when it will take 5-6 years between hunts, meanwhile every resident can go buy a general tag over the counter.

If your spending 5 to 6 years between hunts your doing something wrong. Even if I wasn't a resident I could hunt elk every year somewhere it just takes a little planning

Mudranger wants to see your honey hole, Buzz.

It was in reference to wyoming general tag hunts.

It was in reference to wyoming general tag hunts.

You do realize that the quality of that WY general tag is pretty darn high right? Are you trying to compare it to an OTC CO archery tag or something? If you want to do that, perhaps a more comparable thing would be to look at option of a WY unit 8, 96, 117 tag. You can do those BULL hunts every year as a NR

Guys guys...

 

[Roscoe P Coal]

Wrong...

You can't get a general tag in WY every year. You could get a cow tag more than likely if that's what you're in to. Just ask Buzz. Even he knows that.

You say I’m not bright… scientific evidence states a cow and bull are both considered an elk. Man the education system is truly failing us.

- R's when NR's are asking them to not go for 90/10 allocation

Every once in a while, a guy comes along that runs faster, dives deeper and comes up dryer than anyone else on HT. We got that in our MN guy.
