Seems no different than outfitter allocated tags for those same units?   Why should outfitters be given "free" $4-8K tags with the obvious ability to market/sell when LOs are not afforded the same privileges? 

At least the LOs are providing habitat for the animals... :twocents:
Very good point.  I personally do not support guaranteed tags for outfitters either...advertise their services to people who draw for their unit, but don't guarantee them a tag.   :twocents:

I just fundamentally do not support anything that privatizes public wildlife.  Give everyone equal crack at the tags and let the chips fall where they may...the people who draw the tags can decide if they want to hire an outfitter or pay a trespass fee.

Outfitters get guaranteed tags in Idaho?

Yes.  When the state was divided up into exclusive outfitter areas years ago, I think the late 70's, that was the incentive to the outfitters to take an area that is draw only.  Otherwise there would be no guarantee of any hunters to book.  If the outfitter does not use all of their allocation for the year, then they risk a reduction in available tags in following years.  This is the crux of why it works: outfitters are not supposed to guide tag holders whose tags came from the general pool without meeting several conditions.  The Idaho Outfitters and Guides Association lobby is pretty strong in Boise. 

It wouldn't work here because there is no outfitters licensing or association mandate, nor is the hunter/non-hunter ratio anywhere near what Idaho has to push lawmakers to listen to the outfitters even if they had a lobby.
Bring a GPS!  It's awkward to have to eat your buddies!

If you get drawn for a permit only area, do you have to use an outfitter?

No.  But to apply for an outfitter allocated tag, you need a contract with an approved outfitter.

Doesn't that kind of go against the whole north american wildlife conservation model?
