Looks like they will still be discounting 2nd elk tags. $299 instead of $401. Wow!!

I drew WA muzzy cow so skipping Idaho elk this year! Too many tags & not enough freezers!

Wow. 

OK, supply & demand, I understand all of that.  But I doubt this will continue next year.  The leftover 2nd tags were primarily purchased by residents, and I just don't see them paying full freight for a deer tag.  $300 for a 2nd deer tag, when your 1st tag was 1/10th of that?  Not in Idaho.  My humble opinion, that's all.  Let's see how this shakes out in 2017.

So....for 850$ I can kill 2 elk, in two different zones or the same, with multiple weapons, from September-December, with success rates near 20%.

Or, Washington for 12 days with 1 weapon, 1 side of the mountains, with success rates around 5% for 50$.....

Yup. Which makes an elk tag the same price as a deer tag. Which seems weird . I think they may be getting a little cocky. It seems like just last year they were practically begging for non resident hunters.

It's still the cheapest deer tag with some of the best trophy potential in North America people.  Let's not get too worked up

Oh, I'm not worked up. I actually agree with you. I just think this might back fire a little on them. Especially with the publicity they've been getting.

WHAT??!! There's no way I'm buying a second deer tag now!!!!

Oh wait...yes I am. I love you Idaho.

I really wanted to buy a second deer tag this year, if they were discounted.  I wish they would just keep the elk tags full price and discount the deer tags.  The price of the elk tag is appealing and I don't think I would have a hard time filling it, but I feel I am just being greedy if I take 2 elk in a year.  Maybe if I have a few more kids I will do that, but 1 a year is perfect right now.  Or maybe I will find someone who needs meat and get one for them

If MT would just play the script and continue to be the money hungry monster they are, and give out an insane amount of tags otc like they had been, then this would be a non issue.  All these folks that didn't get their MT tag are looking to Idaho for their deer fix.  Boy are they gonna be surprised when they find out idaho isn't near as flat as eastern MT

This throws a wrench in it. I was going to for sure buy a second tag if they were discounted. Now I'm not so sure. Might wait and fill the first one see what happens

Can you buy a tag during the season in Idaho? I might have the same plan...

Ya you can if they are still available that's the kicker. I have a feeling they will be. When your already over there and you fill a tag the last thing I wanna do is pack up and go home or quit hunting.

We will have a good idea of whether or not they'll be any left as the time draws near. Is there any way to see if/when they all sold out last year?
