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

He’s right. All you folks thinking about moving somewhere should pick Texas. Way better there.

I’ve always thought Wyoming had pretty darn good wildlife management, but what do I know.

I see Texas allowed over 250,00 illegal aliens, many violent crimes, pedophiles,fennyl smugglers , to invade the US this year and kill hundreds of American.



Plus all of the public hunting land available in Texas

Dont mess with Texas lol

Some idiot must be putting for some licenses in May and just trying to scare folks away.

Guess what we get to shoot wolves on site in most of the state. Grizz have been forced upon the WG&F by the feds and we have filed suit to get them delisted so they can be hunted.
Elk numbers are at an all time high so what the heck could they be doing wrong there ?

You also should look over the fishing regulations.

In many states, the Depts. of Fish and Wildlife are inundated with lawsuits from big money animal rights groups simply as a fundraiser for their Board. This appeases their base and the dollars never quit pouring in. The lawsuits tend to handcuff many department's projects, and can last long enough (liberal judges!) to run into 2 or more fiscal budgets. Try taking the time to follow those (mostly hidden from the press) lawsuits and see.

That law about NR's having to have a guide in Wilderness areas was pushed by the Outfitters and implemented into law by Legislators who are beholden to Ranchers & Outfitters or they're Ranchers & outfitters themselves. Wyoming Game & Fish had nothing to do with it.

Having personally been a victim of over zealous environmental organizations, I know exactly what you are saying. Here in Calif while we were not paying attention, the Sierra Club, one of the worst, packed the State and Federal bench. Any proposal brought forth, logging, agriculture, game management, fire safe power rights of way, grazing, mining, water projects...is immediately stalled by bullschidt lawsuits from the little lawyer minions of the Sierra Club, a lot of them filing the suits pro bono, so they can be seen as enviro warriors at the cocktail parties. In Calif the real tragedy is not the destruction of sustainable game populations, it's just a symptom of the larger man made disaster, caused by the new norm of mega forest fires which are of such a scale as to actually change the climate by sterilizing the soil so the forest cannot regenerate naturally. Urban minds setting policy for rural problems...as Alaskans well know.

Sure but I can see you could care less that your WGAF is a mess.

Here you go WyTex see for yourself. Pitiful isn't it compared to Texas.

As for elk numbers being at an all time high.....

Iowa does a great job of managing fish and game. However, we are at an advantage (disadvantage). We don't have grizzly bears, elk, wolves, buffalo or even wild trout, of any kind. I guess when the numbers are limited it's hard to screw it up. But, like you all, we do have some bunny huggers, but not many. Apparently, you guys got the all the rest of them.

kwg

Rickt300,
So you don't like Wyoming. You think Texas is great. We get it, but who gives schit what you think?
Go away and gfy

Not hard to manage elk in Texas when you have year around hunting and unlimited over the counter tags thats genius management! Same with wolves and G- bears when you dont have any.
Still trying to figure out why you give a fugg anyway.

Thank God we live in a free country, the op is free to remain in Texas where the elk hunting and fishing is far better and less costly.

Wyoming elk hunting is horrible, fishing sucks too.

Nothing more funny than a whining Texan.

Wyoming cant be all bad. They have Joe Pickett.

Damn, tough. Crowd up there In Wyoming.

Damn sensitive at least. OP has some type of investment up there and makes a bitch about it. Next thing you know... everyone's out to get them.

I'm not taking sides but I know where they're coming from. On account of all the non-residents who bitch about my state.

I get it, but what you gotta understand about places like Texas is that we encourage people from other States to visit. Not saying that is good, or bad...just foreign.

I lived in TX twice, nine years total. We left 22 years ago but still have lots of friends down there, Texans are some of the most hospitable people in the world

But nobody likes to be told how to run their business by outsiders.
