Aren't they an association of for-profit businesses? I though only non-profits that benefit the community at large or conservation organizations were the folks that got these?

Pretty sure they can gift them to any group they want. Many benefit local groups or organizations in the commissioner's home area.
Can anybody say with certainty that WYOGA (or any of the other orgs, now or in the past) have always met this standard?
“As a condition to issuance of a Commissioner Complimentary license, the Department shall require an authorized officer of the recipient organization to certify under penalty of law that the respective organization is a non-profit, charitable organization as defined in this regulation and eligible to receive the Commissioner Complimentary license authorization.”
Can anybody say with certainty that WYOGA (or any of the other orgs, now or in the past) have always met this standard? It would seem they are member-serving and not community-serving. I don’t know the law on that but it stinks to me, as they advocate for legislation that benefits themselves, does a portion of their work/revenue get shared outside if their own circle? Some “charity” if it doesnt.

I can’t claim to be local or too deeply informed on the Wyoming traditions here, but would love to hear if any better informed rabble rousers make some calls and what those answers are.
On a side note, with all the oppotunity for corruption and antagonistic practices inherent in these licence skim schemes, I would really prefer if states would get back to managing licences and hunters in the traditional manner and abandon most if these auctions/raffles/giveaways unless they are 1)minimized as a statistical component of overall licences, and 2) result only in direct benefit to game management, childhood illness or wounded veterans.
