    Non-resident Hunting and the North American Model

    There are good reasons why tag allocations should heavily favor residents no matter whether we are talking about state or federal land. I think there is less justification for the huge price disparity between R and NR tag prices. In general, I believe that residents could pay more and...

    Hunts you consider unethical and why?

    You forgot to put in a none of the above option. There are several options listed in which I personally would not participate. Not because I think they are unethical, but because they simply do not interest me. I do have a question for those who think that hunting an animal only to use its...

    First-hand experiences of women hunters

    I don't see how it's dangerous to tell a stranger that I haven't seen any elk in a particular area even though I know there are. If you need help (flat tire, lost, packing game) I'll help you. If you expect me to help you by sharing my knowledge about game movements in a particular area...

    First-hand experiences of women hunters

    I read very little in the article that I would agree is based in gender bias or that that is unique to outdoors activities. It is typical behavior for hunters and anglers to be cryptic about locations and try to misdirect others. It is also common when encountering other hunters in the field...

    Tarsal and Meta Tarsal - Remove or Not Remove?

    I make a conscious effort to not touch it but I don't intentionally remove it.

    Idaho hates NRs.

    New residents are definitely contributing to crowding. Like I said in post #238 this change redistributes NR hunters without decreasing the total number of tags. Some areas in Idaho had over 30% NR hunters. Combine that with an increasing resident population and you get more pressure. This...

    Idaho hates NRs.

    The most frustrating part about reading through a discussion like this is that many of the complaints are based on false premises. I won't waste my time trying to address individual complaints but just to clarify what the changes were and why they were made I will add the following. Idaho has...

    Idaho hates NRs.

    I didn't find that either. What I did find is in the Deer management plans where it specifically mentioned the % of NR in a couple units. Some of the units I hunt were among those listed specifically for having very high NR %.

    Idaho hates NRs.

    I am a resident of one of the areas that receives a heavy amount of NR pressure. IDFG showed that 30+% of hunters in my area are NR. I am also very aware of the dramatic increase in the number of resident hunters over the last decade. Despite the increase in residents I do see a lot more NR...

    Idaho "Motorized Hunting Rule" 101

    There have been several threads recently that have asked for clarification on this rule and a couple threads were side-tracked into discussions of this rule. While I feel that anyone who reads the actual text of the rule on pages 104-106 of Idaho's 2020 Big Game Hunting Regulations book should...

    Next Draw System to Implode

    Zim, Having read through this entire thread I have to say that you have the responsibility for presenting stats to support your opinion. Why should anyone else commit the time to look up the stats you've claimed exist if you are not willing to do it yourself. You have made assertions and...

    Points Schemes

    I prefer a no points system and I am lucky enough to live in Idaho so cheers to me. Whether other states use points systems is up to them but the downsides are well documented. I do think that states could easily transition out of points systems by allowing all currently accrued points to...

    Poacher caught

    His monetary penalties definitely leave much to be desired. As a minimum I don't understand how he can be fined less than the value of the pelts he sold. In terms of license loss. 9 and 15 years sounds pretty good. He has a 5 year old son who he won't be able to take hunting for his first...

    Partial List of Things I Don't Get

    I don't get texting. I feel like if texting had been invented prior to voice calls, upon the invention of voice calls we would have abandoned texting in favor of actually being able to talk to the other person.

    Grizzlies Continue Into Idaho

    Update to this story. It turns out that IDFG did take a hair sample from the area near the trail camera and confirmed that this bear is from northern Idaho very near the Canadian border (either a member of the Selkirk or Cabinet population). The bear was captured and collared in 2017 and is...

    Content Production - What and How to Present?

    Randy, I see that you are taking the responsible socially aware route and I can understand and respect that. However, I say, go through this next hunting season with as much normal content as possible. Maybe you have to go to pains to show the steps you take to avoid social contact during...

    Goats and Bighorn sheep

    I own llamas so keep that in mind. I chose to buy llamas instead of goats after researching the possible impacts to bighorn sheep. Based simply on the fact that no llama has ever been found to be capable of even carrying Mycoplasma Ovipnuemoniae. Since llamas can't carry the disease, they...
