Wyoming quotas are out

Wyoming released the proposed quotas for hunting this fall. Public comment is accepted and yes they do read them and take into consideration what even NR have to say.
The only major changes I see are some changes to moose quotas, some folks will be happy with those, and some bighorn sheep changes with a few more tags.
Some pronghorn areas have decreases in tag but not major.
Take a look at some cow elk licenses as well, some private land tags are now open area wide for archery hunting the go private land only for rifle.
We'll be applying for a LQ elk tag and a cow tag to go with the area in addition to our cow tags for the ranch we work for.

Look over the pronghorn quotas before you apply.

And the ranch is now in a bear area that has no sow quota, the area was split off form a quota area. They do not want black bears frequenting the ranch area as it is a recreation area to the south and mainly private land. Good news for us as I have a black bear on trial cam in the meadows and we plan to do some baiting this spring and fall.

Thanks for the update-- looking forward to a fall trip back to WY!

Take a close look at the pronghorn quotas. Some significant reductions in NE and other parts of the state.
Some increases in others.
If I had a few PP I would look into area 73.

Thanks for the heads up.

While I was in Co last year they said the bear have gotten so bad they were giving any local in the city limits free bear tags lol

It’s only $100 for no residents. They have a Sept Rifle season too. You in?

Iv been wanting to shoot one for a while but even though the tags are cheap getting a place to shoot one is spensive lol

Plenty of really good public land out there-- check the harvest statistics and go snag a tag!! Biggest black bear I've seen on foot was in CO (with no tag in my pocket)... and I grew up hunting the eastern shore of NC where there are some monsters.

You just have to drive to DFW, then you can ride with me

DIY bear hunts can work out pretty well in the right place, no private land needed.

Yelp!!!

Just put in for bear draw in CO. May still do OTC if I don't get drawn.

Bump for NR elk results.

Anyone get a elk tag ?

I put in for cow elk tag and didn’t get drawn. Would have been my first elk hunt. Drew Montana general deer and was going to combine the two into one trip. Looking at putting in for a couple antelope doe tags now.
