He must live in a hard to draw region for mule deer? If you have a friend in wyoming that is half the battle. the main gripe nonres have is wyoming is state won't let you hunt wilderness areas without a guide or resident which makes up a lot of the backcountry. They say it's for safety but its just outfitter welfare. Bs since our american tax dollars pay for the upkeep of those places. If you are camping hiking or fishing as a nonres? no problem go all over whatever wyoming wilderness you like. but if you are hunting then it a problem. its a racket. General tags take 3 or 4 points at least for elk. But if you do get a tag your buddy could take you anywhere in WY, opening a lot more areas to you as a non res, that you couldn't go solo.
