It's a little complicated, but this is one tag I would like to have.
The first hunt for grizzly in decades. Get your app. in.

Our G&F.....can make drinking water complicated! The wife and I studied the regulations, we'll contact our “Philadelphia Lawyer” soon....hopefully he can make sense of it! 😁 memtb

I am in for a DMA hunt, but to be honest, the hunt may be more trouble than it's worth.

There's so damn many rules and people watching you, not to mention all the harassment you'll get from the antis.

I decided it was too much trouble and rules too...

I talked the G&F twice with questions. They were helpful in answering all my concerns. I think I have a vague understanding of how it will work.
My brother and I will team up if either of us get a call.

A little rich for my blood and I don't have a place big enough for a rug, anyway. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, and who becomes the first to kill a griz in Wyoming in many years.

Morn’ing Sid! Other than the application fee, our expenses will be minimal.....highly unlikely that we will draw. If we do,then, ya gotta get a bear....more unlikely! If all of the planets align, and we get a bear, we’ll cut the rug into 4 pieces, hang a piece on each wall....then we’ll have 4 “bear” walls! 😉 memtb

I saw the tag was going for $6,000.00 Not sure, if this is true or not. If so the state is using it for a money grab.

I hunt among them most years. I am not interested in shooting one for a "trophy".

I am not someone that values trophies much, and I have never paid a taxidermist in my life. I don't begrudge anyone that does, but it's not something that keeps my interest at all.
With that said, I can see no reason to hunt a grizzly except to eliminate one from the mountains. One is not enough, (it would not be bad to eliminate about 1000 of them, and about 98% of all the wolves too) and I am SURE not going to pay more than about $10 the state government to do it.. The Wyoming State government is what caused this problem in the 1st place, and I see no reason I would pay them even more to fix it out of my own pocket. The government in Cheyenne did this by actively cultivation the problem and also by allowing the Feds to tell them what they have to do (when they don't have to at all)

Funny how government ALWAYS causes the problem and then they ALWAYS want to "manage" the solution ............... and that solution is ALWAYS something that costs more money from the people that the problem afflicts, and enriches the ones that cause the problem in the 1st place.

Wtf, are you talking about. Are you proposing the state should ignore the ESA? WY has the most aggressive wolf and grizzly management of any state excepting AK. They've lost in court as a result of it too.
