WY guaranteed landowner tags

[Oak]

I guess I missed when WY landowner tags became transferable to paying hunters. When did that happen?

I assume that hunt is in unit 23, which still has several hundred private land tags available.

False advertising/shorthand description of a leftover tag is the most likely explanation imo.

That place keeps sending me emails that look like a scam.

Treecarps right - im sure a lot of it was meant to absorb some of the panic buyers who drew nothing else and are briskly searching google/bookface for "landowner tag"

Thanks for getting our hopes up @Oak

Seven minutes, and you were on the thread. That's pretty funny and no I don't mean it to be insulting. I just truly thought it was comical

That's an expensive 3 days for a pronghorn.

And an exhibit of why some groups will always push "more tags"

Somebody would pay it. Smiling.

There are almost 500 tags available in this area.

In this case, the cost is independent of the scarcity of opportunity (ie tags are not the rate-limiting factor, access to private land is).

Probably just a generic template they use for every other state they try to pimp hunts for.

I’m confused still. How are these people’s expectations satisfied if they pay $5,000, show up, and cannot shoot an antelope because there are no landowner tags that can be bought like that?

The thought is that they're not actually landowner tags but rather left over private land only tags, and they are just calling them "landowner " tags because it sounds good to clients willing to pay that much, or just using generic language from other adds. Guessing they don't usually sell out.

You can buy one right now and call it what you want.

Leftover, landowner tag, NR OTC, or the Rack Daniel special.
