[QUOTE="Hunterjones, post: 2233970, member: 112130"] I have been hunting Wyoming on and off since 2000. I love the state so much that I now live here. One of the the things that attracted me to Wyoming early on was the vast wilderness and low hunting pressure. In the last 5 years or so I have seen hunting pressure increase significantly as well as the number of out of state hunters. Any non resident hunters that are complaining should ask yourselves this question. If I was a full time resident of Wyoming, wouldn’t I want to have the first and preferential opportunities to get licenses before non residents?? I certainly feel that the state government here has a right to look out for the people who are here year round and keep the wheels rolling by paying taxes and doing all the things necessary to keep the state operational. If you don’t like the way things may change then perhaps look at some other states for your out of state hunting. When I lived out of state and didn’t draw license here it was very disappointing but I sure never thought of contacting WGFD and complaining to them about THEIR laws and rules. It’s not as if Wyoming is going to BAN non residents from hunting here. It just may be a bit more difficult drawing licenses. I would certainly think that ALL hunters, resident AND non resident would like their hunting time here in the state to have as little competition out in field as possible….. If outfitters are allowed a certain amount of guaranteed licenses it won’t hurt their business and revenue for the state will still come in when these hunters visit here. I have found that the very large majority of outfitters here are top notch businesses that are very successful at what they do and are a great place for non residents to look for their big game hunting [/QUOTE]
