LO Battle Ahead?

[WyoCoalMiner]

Questions that have probably been answered in the previous 18 pages of this thread.

Are Wyoming LO tags good for the entire unit or only the persons property?

Entire Unit

What are the “thresholds” that a LO must meet?

The current requirements for landowner tags in Wyoming include:

• Ownership: Landowners must own at least 160 contiguous acres within the specific hunt area.

• Habitat: The land must provide habitat for the species being applied for, including food, cover, and water.

• Animal Use Days: Landowners must demonstrate that the species uses the property for at least 2,000 animal use days over the previous year.

• Family Members: Tags can be issued to immediate family members, but not sold or transferred.

• Eligibility: Only up to two licenses per species can be issued per parcel per calendar year.

The comments in there are gold.

Agreed, some real doozies chiming in with some off the wall comments.

It will be interesting to follow, though.

Thank you.

How does the WGFD verify eligibility? IMO

Thank you.

G&F personnel walk the property in question to gather data to verify animal use days. Photographs of animal use of the property are also used at times. Not sure how often the data is re-verified. My limited experience is once a LO is granted a tag, it kind of just keeps getting them.

Is that roughly what $60k would get you (the guys claim in the article)? I have no idea.

Alfalfa prices are soft right now. Depends on quality and bale size, weed free, ect. $200 a ton right now is a high estimate of value.

"Alfalfa prices in Wyoming vary by quality, bale type, and location, with recent reports showing a wide range. Premium large square bales are fetching around $170 per ton, while good large squares are around $130-$140, and premium small squares are between $180-$210, according to a recent USDA report USDA Agricultural Marketing Service.
