As a lifetime Wyoming resident who enjoys the opportunity to hunt other states. I am happy to see the 90/10 become law for the big 5. It is insanely hard to get a tag as a resident, there are so few tags as it stands and I defenitley understand the frustrations of non residents but its our state so I support the decision. As for elk deer and antelope.. thats a different story. The WGFD manages our elk and deer quite poorly. The only thing they manage more poorly than deer and elk is money. The money from tag sales should benefit wildlife, not but new truks and build huge new office buildings. so the WGFD income loss from fewer NR tags is of no concern. I personally love to see nonresident hunters here enjoying our wonderful state. We residents still get most of the tags and NR hunters do not affect my odds. They are great for the economy, they come in and spend money at local hotels and resturants etc. I Hope they leave the tag allotments for everything else alone. Even better I would like to see fewer tags in many areas, maybe get rid of many of the general tags and create more limited quota areas. after all its not about creating opportunity for everyone its about healthy population and numbers for the fortunate ones who do draw.
