It's usually a little more complicated than stated above.

Many landowners do allow a certain amount of public access to harvest elk, in most cases cow/calf which is the method for managing...

Actually, unit 62 is over 50% private land. There is accessible public to hunt as well as walk-in areas, but there is also quite a bit of country that requires private land permission. The type 2...

Bobcat, you could only hunt those sections if there is LEGAL PUBLIC access on the roads through the private, Roads marked on a garmin only indicare a vehicle route, not the ownership, status or...

The only legal public access roads across private lands are those with an easement or public right of way of some sort that are maintained by a government entity - BLM, USFS, state or county. Any...

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has nothing to do with this proposed legislation. It is one of a number of bills being proposed by elected officials through the legislative process. A small...

The only people that can't draw a tag in 30 years are the people putting in for tags with draw odds less than 5%. The only people drawing tags 30 years in a row are those that are hunting...

It is the most fair because everyone has exactly the same chance at a license. No one "deserves" a license, no matter how many times they've played the game. Just because someone doesn't draw a tag...

No thanks, leave the system alone. The most "fair" system is a totally random draw.

A ridiculous and selfish proposal. Another clear example of the entiltlement mentality that dominates society today. So someone hasn't drawn a specific hunting license yet? Any one of us might not...

HiMTnHnter, you beat me to the punch. The only areas of the checkerboard in 118 that are open to access without getting landowner permission are the Chain Lakes WGFD unit on the northwest corner,...

West along I80 on the desert. Look @ the WGFD WHMA's on their site.

The majority of the checkerboard lands that hold elk during bull season are leased. The only area in the checkerboard with open public access is the WGFD Daley unit. Sometimes during the late cow...

47 has always been a highly overrated unit. It can and has produced great bucks simply because the antelope numbers have been so far above objectives and there are therefore so many surplus bucks...

The majority of this unit is within the checkerboard land pattern and offers no public access. There is a LIMITED amount of remaining unrestricted access that gets hunted very hard. There is more...

Just to clarify, school sections, aka state lands, state trust lands, etc., are not technically "public" lands. They are lands deeded to the particular state to raise money for that state's school...

I'm also confused how you could apply for and/or receive a non-resident OR resident license in a given year. Must be a pretty unique set of circumstances.

I'm confused by your post. You indicate that you will soon be a resident, when you qualify for resident licenses your preference points for elk will be worthless. Use them next year before your...

Doe nob, actualy it explains alot about your attitude. Belive it or not, there are quite a few folks out there that only hunt their own states and don't spend thousands bankrolling non resident...

They have to be in your presence. Camping with a guide or resident guide and then going your separate ways to hunt every day won't cut it.

Doe Nob, you pay taxes here whenever you visit, we pay them all year, big difference. If you don't want to pay any sales tax in Wyoming, the choice is pretty simple, don't make the trip up here. No...

That makes more sense, water sources on private land surface is obviously private. This was common practice during the homesteading period.

Be careful with some of the advice you are getting here. Ferris mountain is in limited quota unit 87. You can't legally hunt deer in this unit with a general tag.

What exactly did the USFS have to do with wolf reintroduction?

No thanks to preference or bonus points. The system works, it ain't broke, don't "fix" it. Random draw is as fair as it gets.

Also no thanks to more limited quota areas for mule deer and elk. ...

Actually, it could be argued that numbers as low as 5 or fewer bulls per 100 cows are enough to "keep the population gowing" or even growing. Bull/cow ratios tend to say more about the ease of...
