Wyoming question

[andrew_in_idaho]

Didn't wyoming used to require an outfitter or at least a resident accompanying all nonresident hunters in the wilderness areas? Sure seems like I remember it wasn't that long ago region G was off limits without or am I mistaken?

Wilderness areas an outfitter is required but there's a lot of just plain National Forest in Region G. So non-residents just need to pay attention to where the wilderness boundary is.

Wyoming still requires a guide for the wilderness areas to my knowledge

I'm pretty sure there isn't any wilderness areas in region G. There is a good amount of wilderness in region H and F.

Yep, I just looked at the Deer area map, and it doesn't show any wilderness in Region G.

[Bean Counter]

Yeah Huntin' Fool seems to rate Region H just as good as Region G, but I would suspect the wilderness keeps people from applying for H.

I hope some day this B.S. gets challenged in court. Can't believe those a-hole guides are allowed to lock Americans out of our national forest. I will never pay a dime to those crooks in Wyoming.

Oh so that's why everyone wants the region g tag!

[Bigshooter]

No wilderness in G.  That's why it is so much more popular with nonresidents than H.  H has a lot of wilderness.

[andrew_in_idaho]

Ok I thought G was a lot of wilderness from past research but I must have been mistaken.

[GUscottie]

Region G has zero wilderness while H has probably 50% wilderness in the National Forests

It doesn't have to be a outfitter. It just has to be a Wyoming resident.

As a non-resident you have to have a guide.  The guide can be a resident but they must get a resident guide permit to be able to take a non-resident into wilderness areas.  My buddy does this every year and I have hunted with him every year for 5 years now and we go wilderness.

The 100% correct answer.  A resident hunter who is not a licensed guide or outfitter can obtain a resident guide license and take a maximum of two nonresident hunters into the wilderness.  No compensation to the resident guide for this service can take place.

So Beau, does a drop camp count as guided?

[MtnMuley]

Yes it does, but you HAVE to be in there with a guide or a resident who has a temp guide license.
