Wyoming Bill- HB 0043

[rogerthat]

Yep, if you are currently in the 5 year wait period, you are now in the one and done club; 1> ∞

As I applied @35 times before I drew my '19 19 sheep tag at 57 years, I am verklempt that I can never apply again and experience that annual disappointment. I will revere and make a toast to my Ram every morning...View attachment 215052

Awesome ram!

Anybody care to give the readers digest version of what actually is law? (yes I am lazy, I know) 90/10 for Moose sheep goat and bison and OIL for moose and sheep? Guy Eastmans article is a hit piece so basically worthless. When does it go in to affect? This years draw? Anything else I missed? Thanks

Wyoming residents all live below the poverty line and the weather is slightly worse than the arctic so they need more tags to survive, especially limited quota/controlled hunt ones. 3-4 elk, multiple deer and pronghorn a year barely get them by. (Slightly sarcastic)

I don't see how Wyoming won't have to change the point system, even the dumbest people will realize buying preference points is a waste of money (it already is). I have been buying moose points as a low point holder so I am solidly in the "dumb" money category.

Well you don't live in Wyoming

It really sucks when you know the “rules of the game” and decide to participate and then the rules change and there is nothing you can do. States can do what they want but should have to reimburse any hunters that chose to not participate any longer. Reimburse money spent on preference points.

yeah, good luck with that, they ALREADY spent your point money I'm just glad I never got into the "big 5". What will be interesting to see is how many people burn points and stop buying them across the board and how that affects res hunters, prices...etc.etc.

It does suck a bit as a non resident, but it's also not that surprising. A lot of states are 10% or less to NR and I do understand residents wanting more tags just like NR wanting more tags. I do completely agree with the OIL. I think some type of change will have to be made to the draw for NR. I wish all draws would go to random for everything in every state, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm not a resident and I don't get a say in the rules, but I will follow them. I'll look at everything next year and evaluate if its worth it to continue to apply. Maybe I'll draw a sheep tag this year and it'll make my decision easy, lol.

Agree that money is long gone! It’s just funny how the “rules” can be changed after putting in so much $$ for a chance and know the “chance” isn't even possible. Thanks for playing. .

WY just keeps looking better and better to Californians.

Nah only after montana you reap what you sow
train from san fran to bozeman hi speed coming in the near future. Gotta have your cake and eat it to

I hadn't posted this before. Here's my ram via my Nephews' phonskope while I was putting on the stalk.

 

[88man]

20 years of the pts game and the rules change. Oh well. I guess I still got a chance at the moose. Just goes to prove you can't trust government. I have spent money more foolishly on other things I guess.

In regards to other species > when I see legislation like this it makes me open my eyes that maybe landowner tags RO and unit wide might give Non residents another option or more opportunity.

Already convinced mine!

 

[Elkmagnet]

Seriously does this go into effect this year when I have already applied thinking I had factored in tag allocation?

No. It takes effect in 2023.

 

[GoWyo!]

No. It takes effect in 2023.

So I can get one more moose pp...come on bullwinkle tag. (26)

 

[Elkmagnet]

Already convinced mine!

Mine wants to draw another moose tag. I just told her that after this bill she is basically guaranteed a tag if we become residents.
Etna or Thayne/ star valley

I will say this much, the same Eastmans article that was discussed on this thread was posted over on R*ksl*de and it turned into a 15 page, certified Prairie Fire Emergency over the course of the past two days. You'd think Wyoming just went 100/0 and insulted all their moms in a follow-up email, and that the entire concept of hunting has been eliminated from society in one fell swoop...

They’re still sensitive due to not being able to sell waypoints and scout with Cessna’s in-season any more.

Another reason for everyone moving west that Wyoming is THE state to move to....not Idaho.
