Spent a week over in the Baggs area and its pretty sad for the deer and antelope. Very few left in areas where we typically see over a hundred. The bad part is that this will impact hunting for a few years to come.

Savery Creek Outfitters may be booked as well but they run a first class operation. They have some really nice private ground in the area otherwise the public land is completely overrun with people. Avoid Peak View Outfitters in the same area. Not a good outfitter at all.

Great question that I don't have the answer for. To be honest I've caught myself doing it and have to stop and unwind myself when I notice.

It is indeed but I was referencing what I actually saw & experienced myself - both resident and non-resident. This might sting alittle as a non-resident from Texas.......In 2015 Wyoming game wardens placed a robotic decoy of a small bull elk off the side of the road in the area I was hunting...

Struck a nerve with you and that wasn't my intent. I should have worded it differently.."The WY guys deserve a good beating and the non-residents who wish to be idiots should just stay away...hunt you own state." As far as masks go...I won't criticize you for wearing one but you can't criticize...

Yes. Im not sure of CO stance on corner crossing but WY and MT do not allow it and it was driven largely by the outfitters. Not all...there are some really great ones out there but the board of directors are very corrupt. This is old news but it give you a view into how they think...

Unfortunately it was mostly outfitters and ranchers (fellow hunters) who outfitted or leased to outfitters that pushed for and voted in the corner crossing law. Some really great land that became inaccessible when this law passed.

I didn't classify all non-resident hunters as the problem. As a matter of fact I also pointed out the lack of etiquette with resident hunters - one I later pointed out as being the mayor of Rawlins WY and his kid(s). The point I was trying to make was stay home if you are an idiot or lack...

you are an idiot if you almost arrowed a goat.

By all means...please enjoy. Be a role model and set a good example.

Topic off point. This was about idiots and not ranching. I hate listening to cows bellow when I'm in elk country but I disagree. The forest service and BLM do a pretty good job out west (WY at-least) when it comes to ensuring ranchers are managing the resources. The cattle and sheep manage the...

I used to agree with the idea that it brings revenue to the state but if you think about it its money NOT spent in another state so is it really benefiting the wildlife programs ect? At the end of the day it comes down to idiots either local or non-resident. Laws can be enforced but stupidity...

I get it that its all federal land...I'm talking about etiquette. You just don't part on top of someone and start hunting. Its no different then somebody putting a tree stand up 5 feet below you in the same tree.

Just returned from a deer hunt in WY area 82 and I must say that as a resident who's hunted this area for the past 19+ years I left completely disappointed. I saw numerous camps of CA, ID and UT hunters with open fires in camp while we have stage 2 fire restrictions in place. You can't even...

Virtually impossible hunt area. Almost all ranches have outfitters on them.
