Wyoming changing season structures

[Nick87]

Just read something that wyoming is proposing a change in how they set seasons to a 3 year structure. Maybe I missed the thread on that. @BuzzH @jmor @ccc23454 any opinions on this?

Idaho does 4 years I believe.
It often leads to multiple bad winters and die offs without tag adjustments and big population swings.
My favorite thing about Wyoming's game management is that they are quick to react when things happen. Adjustments to seasons and tag limits minimize population swings.

They passed the 3 year season setting structure months ago.

Thanks, I didn't realized it passed. The piece I read today said it was proposed. I cant find the link now.

Those were my thoughts to a T as well.

I see that a lot on the internet, "oh, that looks interesting, better read it", then I look at the date that the original article was published, oops, that's old news.

Yes, proposed. The Comission will see it at the November meeting.

“This is not about Game and Fish avoiding work,” Binfet said.

“This is about reprioritizing time and resources to help us address some other things that we would really, really like to.”


lol ok.

Depends what those other things are.. Did they say?

"Projects like wildlife crossings and fence conversions can be more helpful to herd health than tweaking hunting seasons, Binfet said. The department also has a backlog of big game datasets, which staff could analyze to better illustrate seasonal movements or migration corridors."
