Wyoming wilderness guide rule poll

It's not a difficult concept to wrap your mind around.

IMO and experience, the NR crowding perception is often greatly inflated in ones own mind. There are a few places I’ve seen where it’s a reality, such as the Missouri Breaks when it was not a permit archery hunt.

The places I’ve hunted as a NR I’ve seen much greater crowding from locals.

I still don't think you are understanding this concept. By the time you exclude NR hunters, road hunters, and 4 wheeler hunters the WY wilderness can offer R hunters an opportunity to hunt with less people around. That simple.

With more tags going to residents there should be more locals than NR's at the trailhead.

I understand just fine. In my experience, I’ve found greater crowding in wilderness areas in the last 7-8 years than I have outside of them.

Crowding is crowding, I don’t care if you live there or not.

YMMV.

It's not a difficult concept to wrap your mind around. Places where there are no roads, 4 wheelers, and few NR hunters hold more game than the areas that have roads, 4 wheelers everywhere, and NR hunters all over the place.

Not necessarily. I hunt a lot of places that aren’t wilderness and hunt quality is wayyyy better than most wilderness I’ve hunted both in experience, quantity, and quality of animals.

I think the whiney ass non residents think wilderness areas are a utopia of big deer and elk. When in all actuality there’s a lot of the designated wilderness area void of big game.

Interesting. When I am around road hunters, lots of 4 wheelers, and NR hunters I see less animals.
But I'm sure some hunter has seen plenty of game on the road, pulling a 4 wheeler, on the side of the highway, while corner crossing.

As you know places like the snowies get hit pretty good so leaving the road hunters, 4 wheelers, and NR's behind and heading in the wilderness can be a good thing.
