Go ahead and pull a fact from this thread that I used that is indeed "imaginary" and prove it wrong by citing a source with the correct fact. I know, I know, its not worth your time but its worth your time to shame me.
You are absolutely right about this. How I view the public lands in the...
Haha. Congrats on the tags. I love doe and cow hunts mixed in with buck and bull hunts. It is a great mix. You'll have a nice season.
I think we can both agree that anyone moving west to hunt...or east, especially from California, Oregon and Washington, should definitely move to Montana. This...
What exactly does the quality of doctors have to do with where Wyoming Med students get their degree? Some of the advise given on this thread about Wyoming healthcare is laughable and more what you'd expect on social media like Facebook. When my father was in his 70s he had 7 by-passes and a...
HB 5 is a big bill, and it contains about $100,000,000 in spending authority for FWP for a variety of programs including Habitat MT and many others. This is a major expenditure of the EFB and will bring that balance down significantly. FWP generally feels comfortable with about 15% operating...
I guess I'll throw in my 2 cents worth to the conversation.
I'd really like to thank this group for getting together and moving the conversation along. Many of these proposals I can support. Some not so much.
This whole mule deer discussion is Deja vu for me.
A little history on the limited...
This. Tag priority and management decisions should heavily lean to residents, that's a perk of being a resident of a given state, just like any other reason you'd choose to live there-taxes, schools, work opportunity, weather, etc. If I loved looking at skyscrapers I'd move to New York or...
I think as soon as the West locks out non-residents you’ll see a move to ban hunting on federal land.
Non-resident hunting benefits a state in a LOT of ways beyond the money that comes in on license sales.
As hard as I hunt across the west, I hunt every bit as hard in South Carolina. I go deer hunting about 3 days a week from Aug 15 - Sep 15. Then about 6 times a week for 3 months unless I’m out of town. I shoot deer for family, coworkers, friends and friends of friends. I hunt some private and a...
Ok hang with me. I am not a good story teller.
Day 1.
Left work at around and made the drive from the east side of the state to the west side. Arrived about 5 mountain time. Met up with my nephew and drove to our camp. Had a bite to eat and set out to look around. Since it was 85 degrees out...
Low resident population? Lower funding from residents?
How would you feel if the feds banned hunting on federal land? It’s already being discussed. Talk me into caring whether a Wyoman gets to hunt on federal land if Wyoming won’t let me hunt. Good luck.
It’s easy for residents of any state to...
I read the initiative before I did the video. Have you read it or have you had an attorney read it and explain its consequences?
What you say is the purpose of the initiative might have been the intention of the person sponsoring such, but that is not what the language says according to the...
And there are pastures with corn feeders galore the way texans approach hunting. And exorbitant lease fees to shoot tiny corn fed deer standing at said feeder like cattle That does not mean what Texans do has ANY bearing or in any way informs appropriate and ethical management of hunting...
I'm actually saying exactly the opposite of this. The trend line is changing at an exorbitant rate. The "trend" of people moving to the west for lifestyle is becoming a "trend" of people moving to anywhere open to gamble on property values, and some of the largest gains to be made are in the...
Idaho and Montana do not give out more than 10% of their limited elk, deer, pronghorn, moose, sheep, bison, or goat tags...in fact they don't even give the full 10% a majority of the time.
Both are "up to 10%" but nrs are not assured a single tag...which is fine with me.
I don’t value libtard WA state. I’d move in a heartbeat if I could. Especially living on the west side. But I do have to be thankful there is some decent fishing around and my new schedule I work 7 days on and 7 days off with a 5 minute drive to work. So that does leave lots of time to head east
I think about this too much as well. For me, I think the 'gold standard' is straight random. There is an obvious blowback situation if you made peoples' points worthless overnight. There is also a long term damage to the state if say, in 2035 it takes 12 points on average to hunt an elk out...
Not sure really what's driving the move, but Sioux falls and the surrounding area are nice. Home prices are reasonable, cheap compared to Denver... If you're wanting more conservative folks and government, we have that. Decent pubic land out west river.
Pretty boring landscape tho, no...
