Default RE: Resident vs. Nonresident

elkcrazy, pretty much correct on that one, very little federal money spent here on game. Wolves and grizzly bears is where most of it is spent. The rest of game management in Wy comes from the WY G&F dept. not the state or feds. And where does Wy get thier money? From license sales. A burn or habitat enhancement on federal land, paid for by the WG&F, RMEF, Sportsmans groups, not the feds!

The game belongs to the state! It has nothing to do with federal land. What makes you think that an elk on federal land today is on it tomorrow? Any clue? About the only game animals in Wy that stay on federal land most of the time would be antelope and mountain goats. The majority of the rest come and go.

If game on federal land is to be shared equally with eveyone, then every endeavor, on federal land in "EVERY state" needs to be the same. Then why have states, just one federal entity, No individual rights or priveleges. Just what ever uncle sam wants to let you have and do. You can not just single out hunting, if it's federal it's all or nothing.
