WYcoyote: The article does not relay that the non-resident Hunter was "IN" a "wilderness area" it says that the non-resident Hunter was "in the area of the Cloud Peak Wilderness".
I agree whole heartedly with complying with all "laws".
And I have also suffered at the hands of "gub'mint" officials who have designated more and more of our public lands as "wilderness" and or "wilderness study areas" along with guides and outfitters influencing fish and game departments decisions and regulations!
I have Hunted Varmints "in the area of" the Cloud Peak Wilderness - thankfully a guide is NOT required to do that as yet.
The non-resident Hunter could very well be guilty of a game violation but I did not glean that from the posted article - is there more information available somewhere else?
And I often wonder how "gub'mint" policy/law makers can distinguish between a resident Hunter and a non-resident Hunter needing or not needing a paid professional/licensed guide???
But again I always "abide"!
