[QUOTE="WahooYahoo, post: 2232660, member: 94632"] I have hunted something... antelope, deer or elk in wyoming for a few years now. I have probably spent somewhere in the ballpark of $15-17K in wyoming (tags, retail, food, gas, points, hotels, processing , taxidermy and the like). I’m behind the curve to ever draw “good” tags for elk or deer and burned my antelope tags this year on a mediocre unit in fear of this very thing. I’m getting old. Too old to buy more points in a state that I’ll never draw a tag in. It will be sad if this passes. I am the guy how donates to the fish and game, access yes, and buys the silly raffle tickets. I expect this will happen in most western states though. Colorado will let every 3 year old elk get carried out (the ones not eaten by the wolves), but I suspect if you wanna hunt in New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Arizona, Nevada and now Wyoming (expect Montana to follow), you’ll have to live there. Do the math on the amount of money wyoming has taken in on points alone. It’s 10’s of millions. That won’t pay the taxes on the loss of retail revenue when 75% of the hunters don’t apply anymore; when it becomes like applying in Oregon. No one I know applies in Oregon. I guess I’ll burn the elk and deer points and hunt Montana while I can. Non-resident hunters bring a lot of money that the residents won’t. [/QUOTE]
