That’s because of the cost associated with the numerous appeals and related issues. I personally prefer to eliminate most of those. I think due process can be satisfied without the additional cost mentioned.- Jape

Aren’t we grateful there are individuals who are trying to write some of those rare wrongs? I’m personally grateful for an amazing legal system while recognizing it has its limitations.- Jape

While in law school, I worked on an innocence project and while there are some individuals who are wrongly convicted, it is a much, much lower percentage than many realize. The data shows we are talking in the 1-3% range. When that does happen, those individuals should absolutely be remunerated...- Jape

Wyoming Bison hunt
Congrats! I did mine DIY about seven years ago and had a great time, but those boundaries are super stressful. I saw one on the forest side pretty close to where you got yours the first day I hunted in October and had no idea how rare that can be. I used tag-n-drag to haul mine out and know...- Jape

Corner crossing the 10th ruling
That certainly happens but they often take unanimous decisions and either affirm or overturn. For example, recently SCOTUS overturned Chevron deference in the Loper v. Raimondo case. SCOTUS will often take these “high profile” cases to clarify the constitutionality of important laws. I think...- Jape

Corner crossing the 10th ruling
So good! Would love to see this go to SCOTUS but since the 10th Circuit covers a huge chunk of western “hunting” states I’m hoping this has a reverberating effect and it’s precedence is enough to get state legislatures to codify this ruling. 🤞- Jape

Wyoming Region G Data
Looks like the winter data is out on the Wyoming/Sublette deer herd conditions. Pro: really good fawn survival and healthy does. Con: buck ratio is still low especially for older bucks. Good crop of older bucks coming in several years if we don’t have another 22-23 winter... -

NM sheep tag out bid.
I was a bit disappointed that the guest kept dancing around the tough questions and never answered them. He said one of the pillars of the North American model is to get funds efficiently as possible, but I don’t see that in the seven pillars advocated by his buddy, Shane Mahoney. The model...- Jape

Sheep Show in Reno
You make a great point. It’s also multifactorial so sometimes tough to delineate between cause and effect. I would love to see more transparency to see what effect organizations like WSF is having as compared to other organizations and game/fish departments. WSF has raised over $100million and...- Jape

Sheep Show in Reno
@Bambistew that seems to be my observation as well. The only state I can find that has really good transparency is Arizona. I keep researching and still haven’t seen any hard data linking these auction tags to more sheep and thus more tags. If anybody has some I would love to see it.- Jape
