Wyoming to discuss transferable tags

[MuleyFever]

If as mentioned that the LO tags come out of the overall tag numbers this could have very negative effects on NR tag numbers in the draws. Once these tags have real $$ value LOs will want every tag they can get their hands on. There are probably LOs now eligible for tags that they dont go after because there is no value in them. Once they can be sold you will have everyone that can get their hands on a LO tag after them.

I would think LO are going to be resident ranchers that could get a few but you are correct it could reduce chances of drawing but it also could give NR a better chance if they are willing to pay, don’t forget, this is for trophy hunting, not subsistence living. There would be plenty of opportunities to hunt great units as BuzzH would say on Gen tags.

Doubt it would be the same system in NM, maybe a hybrid of CO.

It will bring about bookies, middlemen...They will do whatever they can to get whatever tags and increase the price for hunter... Its def not a good idea.

That is very possible but not for all hunting, just trophy hunting.

I'm against it because it's pretty much the same as guaranteed tags to outfitters, especially since alot of landowners are leasing their places.

The wyoming wildlife task force will be discussing the possibility of transferable landowner tags at there September 1st meeting in Casper.

That’s a shocker. Never saw that coming

No simple as that IMO!!
