Decades of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us just that.....

May be more cuts coming at the Commission meeting here in about a week.
Price increase next year too, double whammy for some NRs.
Thankfully our antelope herd is doing fine around here, we'll be hunting closer to home I hope, if we can draw.

It’s at least nice to see that WY pays attention and listens to their biologists and makes the necessary cuts to tag numbers. Although it certainly will drive up point creep this year I’m sure of that.

I've been sitting on some points for a while. I'm thinking it's gonna get flooded with NR due to the tag prices next year. But then again, hearing doom and gloom about the population. May keep people at home. Who knows.

All the tag prices are not going up, just the "Special Draw" tags as I understand it.

Right special draw only. I think they may double in price? Don't know for sure, but 1200 bucks for an antelope?

Might as well. If I could find some private up there I'd do it and pay a good price for a trespass fee to avoid the orange.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Trespass fee hunts are very hard to find these days. Regular fees stay the same and quotas were approved at the Commission meeting this week.

Good to hear that. I was going off some guys who went up there on a deer hunt and said it was elbow to elbow and atv central. They said antelope wasn't as bad. First couple days were busy but after that it got better. With point creep getting worse, I'm gonna be in on the special tag group, as I understand it, those are selected first out of each pool. I mean 10 points now is like 6 points in 2018 or 19. But I may be totally wrong. Glad that wyoming protect their game and have quotas yearly.

Be interesting to see how many folks will pay $1200 for a antelope or deer tag. There will always be non residents with deep pockets, Wyoming will sell every tag they offer non residents.

Yea, for a little more you can have an outfitter and lodging. 1200 for a lope is steep. There will be people pay it, and then you'll see regular tags go up too. Just like fuel prices. It just gets higher and higher.

Glenrock area got hit hard and some spots that way. I would make some calls about your area if possible, the biologist will tell you. Winter was spotty on our side of the state.

It just gets higher and higher. I’ll do $1200 for a quality hunt over there, I’m hoping the odds get quite a bit better. Coming up on 50 in a couple years, gotta do er as often as I can.
