Driskill Sponsors Bill To Create Separate Whitetail, Mule Deer Hunting Seasons In Wyoming

Senate President Ogden Driskill is the primary sponsor of a bill that would create separate hunting seasons for whitetail deer and mule deer. Advocates argue separating the seasons would be an important step toward helping Wyoming’s struggling mule deer herds.

Aint that the state that jacked the out of state hunters license prices?

Yes, for the special draws, regular remained the same. Not the only one though. I paid $700 for an any buck (muley or whitetail) in NE this past fall.

It only makes logical sense to mange them separately. Just the obvious fact that the WY range mule deer are 270 miles (as the crow flies) away from the booming Black Hills whitetails.

Now for the selfish part. I hope it passes and allows for the opportunity to have both a muley and whitetail tag in the same year

Yes on Special draw. Which is 30% of the NR tags. (25% go in a random draw, 40% of the remaining 75% go in the Special. And yes, it can get confusing!)

On the Nebraska tag, how did you do? I had a MDCA tag and seem to remember it being around $350.

Guest Column: Do We Really Want Separate Mule Deer and Whitetail Hunting Seasons?

Guest columnist Earl DeGroot writes, "Senate File 111 proposes to offer separate licenses for mule deer and whitetail deer, whereas currently hunters must select one or the other. The bill is being debated with a lot of bias against whitetails."
