Default RE: Wyoming Preference Points

I have been passing this around at work, to friends/family and glad to see others upset. I personally know of 20+ people writing letters to the Wyo. GF Commission and would urge others to as well.

I personally think $40/$75 is outrageous, especially when you compare this to $7 for moose/sheep in the past. That's a 1000+% increase. The fact you have to send in all that cash up front to begin with and now let them keep a considerable amount of money is pathetic.

What chaps my Wyoming native hide is when you combine the pref. points with the 75/25% system (75% of tags dedicated to the point system). That forces you to buy points.

I was planning on buying all 3 new pref. points, plus continue with moose and I have 2 boys. That is $255 a year for me to just buy preference points!!!

Overall, I'm embarassed good ol' Wyoming finds that in "their best interest" they need to create a rich man's sport and discriminate by economical class.

Again, please write and bring them back to earth on this one.
