WY preference point increase

[BuzzH]

The small circle I'm friends with in my area around 90% are either out already or working their way out. Me included!

Thats awesome, because I wont quit until the States where I'm a NR tell me I can no longer apply.

Have a blast, I've had mine over the last two decades. Time to focus on transitioning into retirement and enjoying my own backyard more. It's still going to take me a bit to burn through some points. Some may end up being 30 point ewe hunts and just enjoying sheep country.

The best way to deal with this increase is to move to Wyoming... Especially if you currently live in Idaho.

Wyoming is full and we have no room

I don't make a ton of money but I know come July 1st, ill be buying my points. We may lose a few people d/t the increase but I bet it doesn't offset the amount of new people getting in the game

Meh. The wind would just blow them back into Idaho within a year or two.

As long as social media portrays it someone will try to live it.

New sig line candidate right there.

It’s why Jackson is so full of money folks who don’t actually live there.

Love it, agreed.

Wyoming is approaching this philosophy with their Special fee, but they stopped a bit short with the last increase to really test the limit of what the market will bear. Also, they have a blanket fee for all tags- they’d make more with a graduated special fee schedule dependent on region/unit demand.

If they can appraise each tag more appropriately (most of which should be priced much higher), they’d have a perfect system- allow for NR’s to still feed the points machine, and capitalize on those with more money than patience.

The Wyoming "Special" tag fee was ramrodded through the legislature by the Outfitters.
