1. Good. As mentioned, that law benefits nobody but a very select few, the outfitters. I wonder if those guys in favor of it would like all 49 other states to make that same law.......haha! I don't think so, since it would affect them. Some folks just don't think.
2. In none of my above posts do I claim region G is in the wilderness area, because I know it isn't. I backpack hunted deer there. Did see a dandy huge bull elk that came out every evening way up top tho! Dang I wished I'd had a tag for him. 350"+.
3. Big difference between a donation box that nobody checks, and a mandatory fee. Nonresidents already fund 60% of the WYF&G budget, and are given 10% of the tags. How many NR do you think feel obligated to give even MORE! Yikes!
4. Right. I know that. That is why it is an option to draw easy and pay the trespass. An option.
5. Yes there are such areas, and it actually takes very little "homework" to find them. The factor here is most have low densities of trophy animals. They have some but your odds are low of getting one. I only hunt trophy sized game. It's a numbers game.
6. The combo tags are great if you're a rifle hunter or a local who can come back often. For those predominant bowhunters, they are screwed. They make up 20% of the hunters yet are rerquired to compete with 100% of the hunters, drastically lowering odds. There is a reason 95% of all fish & game agencies have seperate seasons. WY is one of the very few who don't.
