[quote reelfast]Idaho will give you a sticker for the transom of your boat to show you were check which many times will help avoid the delay of another inspection.[/quote]
This is something that I have lobbied the Wyo game and fish for. To have a sticker program to show who has had a safety inspection, and who hasn't.
I usually get checked four to five times a year. After about the third time of showing my PFD's,the fire extinguisher, flotation device, and my fishing license it gets a little old. I understand checking licenses because a boat does not always have the same people on it.
It seems to me that once your boat has passed a inspection a sticker showing that it has, would be beneficial to both the game and fish, and the boater's. It's redundant to check the same boat over and over again.

What a totally ignorant thing to say. I have fished the gorge for almost thirty years now, and I see the biggest share of drunken boaters, being from states other then Wyoming. Your example of drunken ice fisherman is a poor example. Do you KNOW for sure, they were from Wyo? You paint the whole state of Wyo with a very broad brush, given your example. You say you mean no negativity towards the people of Wyo, then you turn around and with one broad stroke say that most of us are nothing more then drunken fishermen.
I have to ask have you ever stood at a boat ramp all day and taken a poll as to who has been drinking, and where they are from? I would be willing to bet you haven’t. Unless you have some proof of this, I suggest you keep dumb ass opinions like this to your self.
