Wyoming resident accompanying NR

[pirogue]

I'm curious why a NR has to have a guide or resident with them to hunt in a wilderness area??.

Who wouldn’t be curious, when a NR can hike, camp, prowl around all they want, in the wilderness, ALONE, if they are’nt hunting. So why does it change come hunting season? See post #19.

Because WYOGA, (WY Outfitters and Guides Assoc) is in bed with the WY G&F, and if they want something, they get it. All this protection referenced above is protecting the outfitter’s wallets from getting emptied.

But if your a good outfitter service, high success rate and do your best for the clients weather they get a animal or not it shouldn't have to be forced onto people right?

This and if the unit is 85% wilderness and 15% not I can still hunt that 15% without either a guide or resident right? So now I'm still in the unit hunting but can't criss the line into the wilderness makes no sense to me

To protect revenue for guide services.
