RE: Red Desert, Wyoming
I believe there should be a qualification to hunt wilderness no matter who you are if the goal is in fact to limit search and rescue.
I think we all know it is not just easterners and flat-landers that get into trouble in the mountains. Sometimes those with the most experience take for granted or let their guard down and end up in the bad.
Being born in Wyoming or any mountain state does not guarantee the ability to take care of ones self in the field.
What the State of Wyoming knows is that the licensed outfitters in the state have fulfilled the training necessary to conduct such ventures.
When it comes down to it, I guess anyone we all have the opportunity to become a licensed outfitter in the state of Wyoming.
I do think there is a better way, but don't see that happening.
