So are you implying that elk season dates and types can never be changed because non residents always apply before the commission approves the new regulations? These deadlines have been in play for enough years that I think it would have been addressed if that were the case.
Bottom line is the proposed changes are available early enough for people considering the tag to knowingly either roll the dice on the proposed change or wait another year for the change to either be adopted or not before burning points.
But they can make proposals, which is what we’re talking about.

The only proposals they can LEGALLY make and change under Regulation 44 are the TAG TOTALS and nothing more!
I don’t have anything more to say to this other than it’s completely incorrect. They’re proposing a new bison hunt area and many new cow/calf elk and doe/dawn deer tags, among many other changes that aren’t strictly changes to quota numbers. You can say it’s a violation, but that’d require a heck of a lot of really smart people to be looking the other way.
A later deadline/drawing would be nice and make total sense, but I’m contending that non residents are provided the tools to make an informed decision until the deadlines are moved.
Man, I’m ready for turkey season.
"They’re proposing a new bison hunt area and many new cow/calf elk and doe/fawn deer tags, among many other changes that aren’t strictly changes to quota numbers."
We're talking apples and oranges; nr Elk draw vs the main draw.
Not really. App/mod deadline for bison has long passed. Guess that should get moved to May too because I’m not lawyery enough to find and read the proposed regs on the website.
Here is something that would be more logical. Hold comments for proposed changes addressing 2019 this year instead of trying to push it through for a year where tags have already been issued. Not sure what the rush is to get it done for this coming season other than bureaucracy can never be very efficient or proactive.
Straw man argument.
The main draw for moose, sheep, goat, bison, will happen after the commission approves the quotas.
Sure, the draw occurs after the quotas and seasons are approved, but my point was that the application and modification deadlines are well before the regs are approved.
One draw in May/June with app periods ending in Apr/May would be way simple.
Can anyone PM me the document? Wyoming's Game and Fish website isnt working for me(pretty sure it is because I'm overseas, but a VPN isn't working either.) Thank you!

That is what we are saying in opposition to what you've been saying all along and what makes it a violation of Reg. 44 when the NR draw is before final approval! It shouldn't be a guessing game on the part of NRs the way it is right now. The first part of your sentence doesn't apply to the NR elk draw.
Thanks for posting,
one of my favorite units has doubled the buck quota over the last 4 years give or take, and point creep still follows along with the increase in tags. Unit must be doing pretty good to meet that supply and demand. My other unit with out points stayed neutral this year
