Idaho to re-draw?

[bobcat]

It's unfortunate the way it all happened, and I don't agree with the final solution, but they definitely were put in a tough spot. No matter what they did, it would have been wrong. I bet nothing like this will happen again, at least not anytime soon.

They just posted available tags

No law was broken - a policy, but not a law.

I truly believe that the F&G were operating under the best of intentions from a customer service perspective.   Unfortunately, in an attempt to appease all parties, the commissioner placed most of the burden on the herds with issuing extra tags.

+1, the only ones suffering this brain fart are the herds.

When you look at the tags available in each unit there will be little or no impact to the herds. The biggest hit is unit 45 doe tag and they are issuing 24 permits.

the entire draw system in ID is a sham!! its fraudulent..super high numbers of their own employees drawing coveted tags..non residents magically hitting their 10% quota every year with very few apps by non residents in some units

Two weeks ago I would have disagreed sharply with you...today...not so much.  I am usually a big supporter of IDFG and their decisions...they screwed this one up so bad that even the folks who normally trust them have lost faith.  It really does make me wonder what other shady things they have allowed! This is why they need to fire Virgil and maybe a couple of his deputies...a small step towards restoring faith in that agency.

This will be my first year hunting Idaho...I'm excited about the overall quality of the deer I'll be hunting OTC and they gave me a bonus elk tag as well. I find it tough to complain at this point

here is an example a draw unit... 60 tags available 700 apps 670-680 apps are resident and poof the 20 or so non residents draw their 10% every year!!!  those odds of pulling those tags is insane year after year
