wytex, maybe not statewide...but in the past 20 or so years I think an area or 2 have been closed, and in many other areas....the allotted tags have been reduced. I know that the moose numbers in the Kemmerer area much lowers than they were in the late ‘80’s early ‘90’s. And you’re correct it’s not “gloom and dome”.....but, it darn sure ain’t good! memtb
