Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Wyoming Game and fish department, the worst in the lower 48?

If ever a fishery was mismanaged WGAF tops the list of no management capabilities dufus dummasses. Their elk management and wolf programs are also epic failures as far as hunters are concerned. Go ahead and add the overpopulation of Grizzly bears to the list.

They transferred there from Calif Fish & Game.

You are more than welcome to move to Wyoming, establish domicile, and make your voice more eminently valuable.

LOL! Beat me to it! No words from me regarding Ca DFG, or whatever they call themselves now. Sorry Wyoming.

Can't comment on there fishing but you've obviously never elk hunted in Montana ive hunted both and Wyoming wins hands down.
Don't blame the fuggin G- bears on Wyoming if you wanna bitch take it up with a bunch of liberal judges and so called conservation groups.
Wyoming and Idaho had a hunting season 2 years ago until some libtard judge stopped it.

I don’t think so Cheyenne. He’s blaming the over population of grizzlies on the state, let him move to DC so he can address the root of the problem.

I hear Texas is the best, you should stay there and not worry about Wyoming.

They have been trying to manage wolves and grizzlies for years but liberal judges from out of state keep blocking the hunting... something that should not be happening, ever.
As far as elk, WY elk herds are healthy and growing and exceed management goals in most areas. So, tell us what the beef with WG&F is... really.
Now, as far as mule deer and antelope: They need to reduce tags moreso and quit killing does for a few years. In this atea they are falling down.
Fish: I can go to any watershed or impoundment and catch good numbers of fish. Many streams are producing large sizes and numbers of trout. Where is the failure? I caught literally hundreds of fish on the fly rod last year.

Funny how NR always bitch about another states game and fish management if there's is so good what the Hell they doing going to another state.
Maybe they should stay home if they don't like it.

Stay in Texas.

IMO - NMDGF ranks right near the bottom, also.
Don't know if a good one exists.
Most are controlled by bunny-huggers and the politicians in their pocket. (The bunny-huggers pocket)

I'm not gonna pick on another state.
PGC has to be near the worst.

My mom was from Texas and I can remember many times Dad shaking his head in amazement saying "you can always tell a Texan...but you damn sure can't tell 'em much!". And something else about them being the stupidest bunch of...well you get the idea.

The op would appear to confirm my dad's theory on Texans.

That's what I do.

All those weird rules just make me tired.

Do you guys realize that some States have seasons for rabbits? Or that you can't shoot an animal out of your truck? WTF

I was a Wyoming resident for 19 years. I saw the WGAF stock Lake Trout in the Flaming Gorge reservoir knowing it would wreck the Brown trout fishery. And it sure as hell did. Now somehow they mistakenly stocked Ling in the same lake. How about current creel limits? 3 trout total! this includes any that you might have in your freezer! It is not like many of the rivers get much pressure and generally tourists don't keep many fish. So either they have terribly managed the fisheries or for some leftist scum reason they don't want you keeping any fish in your freezer. You pick. But on the somewhat bright side you can keep 15 Lake Trout total in possession. Cool the worst tasting trout in existence. Oh and I believe you can keep all the Ling you want. Ain't that special. As for the Grizzly bear, Wyoming has done far more to manage the Grizzly than it has to manage elk same for wolves. They have been neck deep in collusion with the feds making the wolf and Grizzly bear expansion a massive success.Be nice to know how much hunting license money has gone into making the Grizzly bear management programs a success. Say the same for the wolf.

The feed the elk to the wolves plan is a success

Hah! Basstards!

Hey Mickey Mouse, I was born in Idaho. Glad I left as soon as I could. Too many Mormons.

Boy that is the truth!

Funny post, the state made every effort to grow as many bears as possible. Even if they open a season on them it will be to auction off tags and make big bucks and not enough tags to make a difference. Pretty sure they will do the same with wolves.

Move back, rickt300, nobody’s stopping you. It’s like me complaining about the murder rate in New Orleans. Not my problem any more, and I’m not trying to to tell them what to do about it.
