Wyoming tranferable tag bill

[BuzzH]

Tell us more about Pearson? I'm curious where the push is coming from? Certain land owners? Certain constituencies?

Total self serving bill. It's the usual, "woe is me", rancher/farmer can't make ends meet deal.

Essentially know that the wildlife has value and they want to hit the easy button from profiting from the publics wildlife.

I can assure you that LO licenses will being staying just as they are for sometime to come.

100%

The LO's that currently receive tags, at least the ones that I speak with, know that they have a cherry deal and don't want to rock the boat.

I can assure you that LO licenses will being staying just as they are for sometime to come. The issue you mention surrounds the fact that some wildlife herds tend to have different home ranges at different times of the year. If those wildlife are not on the private lands during hunting season, it doesn't do a LO much good hunting animals that aren't on their property. When I tell that to those that think like you, they usually say "too bad", but that landowner still provides habitat, food and water for wildlife when they are on the property.

So how about you just thank the LO for helping keep that wildlife we all cherish abundant by supplying habitat, food and water and not worry about where he/she uses their two licenses within the hunt area. The honest truth about Wyoming's LO program, is it's not perfect, but it's one of the most conservative in the west.

Just to set the record straight, I'm 100% against transferable LO licenses.

I understand all that and agree with you. I was mostly venting a little.
