Relocating: let the points go?

[sclancy27]

What is the residency requirements for hunting wilderness areas? The same as hunting tags? Maybe you could burn your points and then go hunt wilderness so that you're at least getting some benefit of living there your first year, and still getting use of your preference points
.

I believe they are the same. It wouldn't make sense if they were different.

Where in WY are you moving to? FWIW, I've lived here over 8 years and have never hunted wilderness yet. Freezer is full of pronghorn and elk every year. My advice is don't get hung up on the wilderness thing.

I normally dont but the particular hunt I'm likely to draw has a lot of wilderness. I would like to talk to someone about the unit but the research I have done comes up pretty empty.

There is a second unit that's a late season where I think they would go onto BLM but i already have a hunt planned for those dates..... sigh

That's the question. Calling G&F shortly.

Per G&F, I need a guide or a resident guide for 2023 if I want to venture into the wilderness.

Just for pure shits and giggles I would love to see this as an argument fleshed out.

It's the same as applying for tags. My brother moved in August 2021 and I helped him figure it out. It sounds like with your schedule move you'll have to apply as a NR and follow NR rules for 2023. With the proper timing a guy could have a NR tag and yet meet residency requirements to hunt the wilderness. The biggest benefit I see in that scenario is it would open up some good tags that don't take a ton of points for NR because the units are mostly wilderness.

You must've called while I was typing.

If you can not make a resident friend before September of 2023 then we need to all pull together a Go Fund Me to send you to a Dale Carnegie Course...

Does it make sense to have two general deer permits for two different states? Their seasons overlap but I can get the archery stamp for one of them.

Burn ‘em. But then I’m trying to burn all my points. Not playing the game anymore.

I’m all in! Should pull all of them based on GOHUNT. Here’s to wishful thinking.

Maybe use your points for easier to draw tags and then donate the tags to Wounded Warrior or Handicapped Hunter Programs. You often get a tax write-off for the donated tag(s) and moreover you get the satisfaction of helping and assisting a veteran or disabled hunter. Win all the way around. Good luck, TheGrayRider.

I'm all confused and now have a headache. The hunting is soooo much easier in the south pacific(nz and australia)

I don’t understand the question? What does residency have to do with points? You don’t keep your points if moving to Wyoming? Is that why you’re saying?

They go away when I’m able to claim residency in 1 year. Use em or lose em this year.

‘Twas a sincere question. But you right.

Just funnin ya perma.
I’d go with the one I thought I could put a good hunt together and had the most time to devote to it.
My inner tag horror is saying take em both and get after it.
