hey wyoming lost me as an elk hunter when special tags hit almost a grand.rather go to africa for the 5 grand or more an elk hunt cost as a nonresident.did you really think right out of the gates it would be open season.not a chance.just like hide and seek there has to be a safe home.add to that the lion kill they need one every three to four days,and the bear killing calves and fawns and the coyotes.thats why they are prey.just another link in the food chain.remember 1/2 full not 1/2 empty.you and i know this will be a slow process your just along for the ride.they almost got away with listing the black bear.they want to stop polar bear hunts due to global warming.african hunting is going to take a hit.at least some of us got a chance to hunt something a few generations they will be saying rember when those men were able to hunt wow what a life that must of been i wonder what it was like
