Task force $1,950 NR elk tag

[brockel]

Here is what I don't get. As a somewhat smart man understanding the basic principles of how to run a business I know this: A backlog of work means good job security and also allows you the luxury of being able to overcharge knowing the few customers you lose will only slightly help your backlog.

So if the outfitter are complaining their clients can't get tags, why would any outfitter actually want that to change right now?

Or is it because they can't get enough clients right now are have openings that aren't getting filled? Well then if that's the case, maybe it's time to stop charging so much?

It’s because they want repeat clients. Easier than finding new ones. Montana is the same way

Why not just expand landowner tags, that way the landowners can make money off the outfitters and the outfitters will always have a tag for rich elites.

Exactly they don't want to advertise or market or answer phones/emails. They want the government to structure things so the clients are hand fed to them. Like zoo animals waiting for lunch.

Lots of outfitters on forest service

Wait are you describing the outfitters or the average us citizen these days.

If an outfitter can’t get enough clients, they can go get a real job like the rest of us.

Just do like New Mexico and make it unit wide.

Simply amazing. Point creep in the regular draw is going to skyrocket. That general season tag just went from every 4 to 5 years to every 10 if not more.

Unless you pay the $1950...

Some units are probably 90% public. Doesn’t make a lot of landowner tags with only 10% private. Some outfitters operate on 100% public land as well

Outfitters can learn to code. And darn the Russians for all these price increases...

Wait! What board is this?

Outfitters rely on them government to keep their business going; but it’s not welfare or socialism somehow

I would like to stamp my feet and say that I am going to burn points and leave Wyoming forever….but I’ve spent money on dumber shit.

Changes will be in affect for the 2024 draw?
I’ll probably shoot the moon on in the special draw on at least on species.

Yes, 2024. They won't have time to make it for 2023.

That's what they'll tell you...while bitching that the .gov needs to stay out of things.

Rugged individualism...my ass.

Everyone hates wealthy coastal elites, until they're buying your elk tags...

 

[Huntkook]

Supply and demand, I guess they'll ride that horse till they kill it.

 

[DFS]

I don’t suspect this will change much in draw odds department. Maybe I’m wrong in that thought. I wish I was one and done in wyoming but I jumped right back in.

 

[rogerthat]

Yeah I don’t think this will work like Sly Sy thinks. It’s going to change things but a good number of diy guys will pay up if it gets them a tag
