Wyoming 90/10 passed

[Stein]

With DEA, there are other voices that will come into play like hotel owners.  With OIL stuff, the financial impact is pretty limited and outfitters can speak loudly.

If I was a hotel owner that catered to traveling hunters I would be pretty vocal about the outfitters wanting all or even more tags.

Not to say it won't happen, but it's going to be different because of this as well as a lack of benefit to resident hunters.  The outfitters would be on their own with that one.  It's a more naked money grab than the discussion of giving more tags to residents.

In the proposed DEA bill landowners would also get some of those tags that used to go to non-residents.   So this is large landowners also flexing their muscles alongside the outfitters.  Those large landowners control alot of WY politics.

Very true.  Many times the landowners are the outfitters as well.

I don't believe there's any bill or anything else that's been written up or proposed yet for deer, elk, and antelope. There's talk by hunters on internet forums about "what if." But that's about it at this point, as far as I know.

You are correct the bill for 90/10 deer/elk/antelope has not been released as a bill yet.  Sorry, I shouldn't have used the word "bill". But it is being defined right now by the Wyoming Wildlife Task Force to work out the details prior to be worked on as a bill in the legislature.  Guy Eastman covers the details in the article.  He admits it's still a ways off from becoming a bill because they have to figure out how to replace the revenue yet.   But it appears to be a "when and how" rather than an "if" situation at this point.  He shared what he knows of the current status of that discussion from his friends on the Task Force.  And that is what I was referring to.  I should have used the word "plan" instead of "bill".

Not surprised.  I gave up on WY 20 years ago and may never go again.  After this year, maybe no more MT either.

I was just debating jumping in. Probably good I forgot to buy points or apply every year. Still considering deer/elk but looks grim also. I think I will just stay Idaho and Montana that’s pretty much the only places I have consistently hunted. The multiple state applications just seem to get worse every year.

The one thing Wyoming really has going for it is the ability to apply and get an antelope tag most any year you want, and I don’t think that will change even with 90/10

Just glad I got my moose last year but probably never get the sheep tag now with 22 years of dedication

I believe that his bill starts on January 1, 2023. Is my assumption right. Hope so because I have 20 moose points.

90/10 for moose sheep goats doesn't come into effect till 2023

Maybe Washington should designate at least 10% or even 20% of its limited entry tags for nonresidents.

Washington doesn't get many non-res other than Turkey, and I think it would be difficult to justify limited entry Turkey tags

 :chuckle:That'd be one trophy of a tom to drive 500 miles for.

Sorry to derail the thread earlier. If the 90/10 split is being worked on to possibly be implemented in the future I'm fearing folks that have been applying for the harder to draw trophy hunts are gonna settle and apply for easier draw units so they don't waste points/time. Be very interesting to see what happens with points to draw (draw odds) with the upcoming WY deer/antelope apps. Let the point dumping begin.
