Next year’s law is to revoke the lifetime license holder from the residents draw.Will us non resident lifetime license holders still be treated as "residents" for draw purposes, Idaho?
I'm not at all upset over Idaho's proposed price but I find it humorous that this report you posted included California's NR Elk cost in their "average" cost computation. That single state inflates their computed average by about $75. If I'm not mistaken, CA limits the total NR elk tag allocation to one per year, maximum (none are guaranteed to go to a NR). Now if they'd chosen to list PA's NR elk cost instead ($11.90 to apply, $250 for the NR tag if you draw, all 142 available tags may be drawn by NR with equal odds to those of PA residents), they'd get the opposite effect on their "average" NR cost. But that wouldn't really serve the intended purpose of the report would it?
Yea I laughed at the CA part to. I grew up in north central PA and it might not be the west but boy do they have some monster elk!!! PA has done an incredible job managing them with the help of RMEF. Great success story!Yeah, yeah, I get it that PA ain't the West. But it's just as silly to list CA as a NR elk destination comparable to any of the other 10 states on that list, IMHO.
Had me going there. Whew! Still have a backup plan when Montana runs out of elk!Next year’s law is to revoke the lifetime license holder from the residents draw.
(I’m jokng before we get down that path.)
I buy my kids a lifetime license at high school graduation so they’ll come back to hunt with me.Had me going there. Whew! Still have a backup plan when Montana runs out of elk!
Paying for your wildlife management howeverNot love or hate. It is a little love to the resident tho and last time I checked NRs arent paying taxes in idaho.
Yep and I pay for Wyoming's and Arizona's.Paying for your wildlife management however

Not directly calling you a whine ass. Stating in general.Yep and I pay for Wyoming's and Arizona's.
Difference is I'm not a whine ass about. I embrace it.
I would argue that other general deer units in WY have significantly better deer numbers than most Idaho Gen units. (Not just G&H).
WY general elk (while it does take a couple points) also better than your avg Idaho general tag. Quite a few Colorado OTC elk tags I would take over an Idaho OTC elk tag too....I’ve hunted both a fair amount. Always enjoy Idaho, but as far as game quality & quantity ......I think a couple other places beat it as far as Value.

Haha I know that no worries, just felt that I had to state it. I was stewing on that Wyo bill that didnt pass. That had me upside down all day. I 100% understand as a resident how alot of them feel but here I am a little further east and every day until sept-nov i think about the mountains out west. I do feel fortunate to be able to get out there every year and I know there are some that take it for granted but no where near the amount us that cherish it and allow it to change our lives in the best ways possibleNot directly calling you a whine ass.

So many people in the area I live take it for granted. Sometimes I think some of em just hunt so they can complain about something. HahaHaha I know that no worries, just felt that I had to state it.

I would be ok with that. I mean I love hunting but 1 elk, 1 deer 2 if I draw the extra doe, 1 pronghorn, 1 turkey is enough meat. Not counting any out of state animals I may get.eliminate the option to purchase a second tag.
When sportsman stop to think, it's not about me me me, but the greater as a whole of sportsman we will fair better. Until then, we won't stop losing our great opportunities to be sportsman and pass the legacy on.
To be clear I understand the sentiment and annoyance of a tag going up in price, but idaho is simply closer aligning themselves with the going rate with these price increases. They are not going ham and raising them to some astronomical number that exceeds every state in the country here. But let's all act like it's an astronomical number cause it is a reason to complain and we all love to complain.
The Insta-famous aspect is VERY real. My buddy in Boise said some Utah hunters put up a You-Tube from a unit he hunts, complete with very prominent and visible landmarks. He said Ray Charles could have identified the unit. The next year the trailheads were completely awash in NR plates. We're starting to evaluate some not so far down the road retirement planning, which may very well involve moving back to my homeland.Noteworthy has been exponential demand concurrent with Instagram/Youtube heroes outing the unit.
