I stand corrected gpsonny03 on the acreage amount. Perhaps I was thinking of Montana or something... Just the same, my point still stands. Unless I move there permanently, I'm out of luck.
Pity, since I rather liked the state up until this point. I even felt good about paying the property taxes on the 35 acre postage-stamp I bought. At least they itemised where the money went.
My real concern is, as fishdoggydog pointed out, that I now have to make the choice of putting in for next year's draw with a thousand other panicked working stiffs, or lose the opportunity. Short of a major lottery win, It'll be out of my reach forever.
....and then some accountant in the state house will point out the massive rise in 2006 applications as an indication of support for the new fee...
Oh, BTW fisgdoggydog, they are taking written responses until June 17 at the address on the letter I posted. What the heck, splurge on a stamp and vent at the beancounters. I sent copies to the North American Hunting Club, the Wyoming Board of Outfitters and Guides and the Governor.
