Most of the residents I know😂. I feel like thats a pretty scientific sample size. Also , at least in Idaho, residents were in a race to buy non resident tags at non resident prices for second tags. So they obviously are not scared of high prices to hunt their home state.
As far as the tag increase goes I would say its just capitalism. They should raise prices until tags quit selling out completely. I blame the social media influencers and outfits like huntn fool 😂. They over publicized western hunting and built business models on getting every hunter in the...
thats around when Idaho started selling nr tags to residents at the out of state price. There were lots of leftover unsold nr tags. It was pretty nice as I bought second elk and deer tags as a resident well into season. I am not sure it was great game management but I took advantage of it a few...
I am AGAINST politicians making any wildlife management decisions. The legislature is setting a dangerous precedent wading into game management. I do agree totally with limiting mule deer doe harvest. Fish and game needs to be the one making the decision not politicians
I dont really believe in the shotgun approach of applying in as many states as possible. I understand that some people like the new country and adventures that applying everywhere brings. If you want more consistent success I firmly believe you will have more success and sooner sticking to...
i would say opportunity has already been reduced in part by hunting influencers. Reduced qaulity of animals, reduced qaulity of hunt experience and reduced opportunity to get former easy to obtain tags. This thread is on influencers screwing up special places not how states should deal with the...
Influencers need to spread out the hunting and fishing they highlight. The biggest problem is the hyper focus on a handfull of western states. It has overwhelmed the draw systems and the public land. Creating more support and more hunters is not bad its good. Directing ALL of those hunters to...
Well done, thats a very nice bear. My son and I have killed at least one bear every year for decades. It is hands down my fovorite meat for sausage and very good overall. Most underated wild game meat in my opinion.
I live in Idaho but my wife and daughter are barrell racers so looks like we will be spending some winter days in Arizona for horse stuff. My son and I have been avid hound hunters for a long time. I was hoping to make a connection with any Arizona hound hunters to possibly bring our dogs and...
i am definitely interested. I went with my dad 7 years ago, also in the limpopo region. I have hunted western public land my entire life but would say that Africa trip is one of my best memories. 2 things I wish I would have taken are sable and buffalo! post them up!
A little over 16 years ago my wife shot a buck on thanksgiving day. We had thanksgiving dinner with the family and went to the hospital and she delivered our 3rd child that night. (technically the next day for delivery). Life does not have to stop when you have a baby. Also helps when you marry...
I agree 100 percent. Probably worded m y post poorly. Just wanted to take pressure of op. Seemed like A lot of warnings on being able to hunt with the new baby. Just wanted to encourage the tag holder that he can do the hunt right and still put his family first
