My understanding was that the number of allocations issued to outfitters per specie per wmu was established on a percentage of what the total of amount of animals per specie was harvested by residents in that perspective wmu.
The percentage used to determine how many allocations were available for that specie was 3%. Whether that is still the case or not I am unsure.
The DNR does not care if the same non resident comes and kills an antelope each year with an outfitter. That outfitter has x amount of allocations and he chooses who to fill them with. And personally I do not care either.
I would imagine Wyoming is the same with their antelope, the residents wait to get the drawn, but you could go down there each year if you choose and hunt with an outfitter.
And yes allocations have been dropping in price over the last few years.
