Or in another way to think is 18 million acres of public land And another site actually has contact information with land owners who are looking for hunters to help wildlife management on thier land. There are actually areas in Wyoming for that very purpose of elk herd management areas all on public land. I get the part that it's not like you are going to walk in to an area without doing some scouting and research before hand, but to tell that the only good hunting land is owned by outfitters is just plain wrong. And Wyoming for that matter is just one state that has ample places to hunt big game. It all cost money and time but if that is what your passion is to hunt for the sake of putting meat on your table I don't think many will be picky at the end of the day especially if hunting opportunities in this state become restricted even more in the next decade. Hopefully down the road hunters and landowners will utilize the technology we have the way other states are using by allowing landowners to notify potential hunters that thier land is available to hunt for the reason of wildlife management.</blockquote>
