Idaho 2023

[SAJ-99]

$100? We’re going to charge you more than $200 by the time you buy a license, application fees and fees on fees!

Probably. You do you, Idaho. I will decide if it is worth it, same as we all do with every other state we don't live in and the hodgepodge of methods and fees and rules the state agencies like to dream up..

'Taylor Swift for hunters': Idaho Fish and Game tag system crash sparks anger - East Idaho News

(Idaho Statesman) — An Idaho Department of Fish and Game hunting tag sale last week led to backlash from out-of-state residents who said the slow website, high demand and system crashes were akin to the debacle created last month when Ticketmaster struggled to meet demand for tickets to Taylor...

I don't know about how the rest of the residents feel but my buddies and I have been laughing about all the comments on the news and Facebook.

George Culpepper, a South Carolina resident must have been the one to tip them off. Hahahaha. So random they would find a guy from SC to interview.

Nice! Good luck.

I’d make the NRs choose between what are now OTC and control hunts. They can make the decision based on desire and draw odds. I wouldn’t separate the hunts. It’d end the Go Hunt gaming the Idaho system philosophy.

I’d do a separate NR draw if technically possible. Increasing the number of tags in the current big game draw might cause a major catastrophe.

Glad you're not in charge lol

 

[Kodiak06]

It actually could be days if your number was 35K, like mine was. Of course I said f it who is going to wait days? What a joke.

How was it days? I know a guy that was in the 60K numbers and got at tag at 10pm same night

 

[Kodiak06]

I hope Idaho stays a NO POINT system and continues as is for OTC. Point creep will eventually find its way there if they go to points. I know it sux here in Oregon

It’s me. I’m that guy. Truth be told, I fell @$$ backwards into it, and I feel dirty owning that tag.

Hopefully ya got a descent tag. I couldn't believe the dude got his preferred tag at 10pm lol and it's a good whitetail unit. Good luck

Truthfully I’m not sure if it’s good or not. I picked 3 units when I got in line at 5 PM and got my second choice based on some rough research that I never intended on doing. But alas, it will not go to waste. The unit looks gorgeous and harvest success is fairly decent. Plenty of public land. Don’t know a lick about it and don’t know anyone who does know about it but I’ll make an adventure out of it.

I got unit 1. Never been but will be whitetail hunting there. I've probably got 20hrs on maps invested already lol. I know a few going to unit 1 but, we won't be in the same areas. You elk or deer?

What's the functional or resulting difference for a Nonresident between buying online and buying in person?
