There's good reason we're one of the most moved away from states. The wind and cold is one thing, remoteness is another, but right now it's mostly a general lack of jobs. Coal is going bust, guaranteed, and with it the rest of the state.
So amusing someone from Wyoming talking about skeeters……come to nome ak or Kotzebue, Alaska the “skeeters“ up there kill bears……
I havent been but hear its nice. Video cameras so you can see your shots as they happen. There is also the Whittington Center in Raton NM which has cabins but no sort of food service. I'm, a life member there, absolutely beautiful place of 33,000 acres.
I'll take a stab at it: neighborhoods in WY?
The one thing I always have, in every vehicle and every pack, is a small bottle of 100% DEET just to make sure I'm NEVER without it. Mountain marshes, Florida swamps or east coast ticks and chiggers, it's the only thing that works every time with only a couple drops of the stuff per limb. They're small, only a couple ounces, but can make or break a trip on their own.My only rough experience with bad skeeters in WY was a backpacking trip as the snow (from a BIG winter) was melting.
Meadows were marshes (gaiters required or you would have water/mud in your tall hiking boots).
The skeeters were so thick and bad I was cursing not having brought my head net for bugs and just covered every surface besides that with cloths. .
Every bit as bad as anywhere I had been, including AK swamps, MN canoe trips, etc that day.
Ended up gaining a ridge for the breeze and stayed up there and off trail that went to a lot of lakes and meadows that would be the same.
Isolated occurrence in June, and don't tell the outside folks there are no skeeters.
Yeah, I’m looking out my WY window and there is a mosquito f**king a turkey standing flat footed. Guess I’ll go for my varmint rifle…My only rough experience with bad skeeters in WY was a backpacking trip as the snow (from a BIG winter) was melting.

That's just sexy.
There's some truth there though, we have areas that suffered up to or over 80% winter kill this last year for deer, pronghorn, moose and elk, and statewide it's pretty fucking bad all in all. Between the preceding droughts followed by massive snowfall this past winter, the herds are just small get-togethers now. It's a decade plus to recover from the damage, and that's with good weather and game management.
I wonder if that stuff works for horseflies. I was setting targets on the 300 yd line at my local range and holy moly, got hit by at least a dozen in less than a minute. At first I thought I'd stirred up some hornets. Those little bastards hurt.
Should build it in Wamsutter. Half way across the state on I 80. Not a neighborhood but they have an exit sign.
The dipshits in WA State would close something like this down, not build it. I hope it goes through.
Wyoming Communities Will Get Their Shot At $10 Million Shooting Complex
Communities across Wyoming will soon get their chance to vie to become home to a proposed $10 million shooting complex that state officials say will be world class.
To building a big shooting center, or to OP moving to WY?
JUst because you don't hit the bottom, doesn't mean you won't slap the shit outta the sides?
That was ba-a-a-a-a-a-d.
Shooting Center = good.
Just because over 50% of the state’s acreage is .gov owned doesn’t always translate into good places to shoot. Most of that BLM land has grazing leases on them and you don’t want to be the guy rocking 220gr near a rancher’s herd. A good organized range center for match and training hosting would be awesome.Don't "shooting centers" make more sense where there's no place to shoot? I would think in such a sparsely populated state, there's be plenty of places to shoot?
Unless they're building it indoors and out of the wind.
I believe those leases also give control of access to holder as well.
Yep, often is the case. As are petro and mine leases.
abn31c answered it best above. The devil is in the details of the lease, and access is limited more often than allowed.
