[andrew_in_idaho]

That’s well overdue too..... place is way over crowded..... boy the whine will be running full force when that happens

Funny I asked a biologist at the local mule deer foundation banquet about that the other day. He said that they are solely managing 39 as an opportunity hunt. I think they need to do something. Between the early controlled hunts, general seasons and late controlled archery the deer in 39 are being hunted from August 15-December 19 with the exception of 2 9 day breaks at the beginning of October and November respectively. Last season there were over 13000 hunters on general rifle, the pressure on that herd is unsustainable

I don't have a problem with general in 39. its the largest herd in the state and obviously its sustaining the pressure. its a great place for all the NR and Boise weekend warriors to be. well out of my hair where im hunting.

    huge rugged country that mostly stays untouched.  Lots of traffic low but the places where the deer stay till the snow flies doesn't get visited much.   If you don't want to see 13k other people hike a little higher or go to one of the other units with less pressure.  There's dozens to choose from.

I have to think 39 is on the list of the “to be addressed” units. I love how  our crew fills literally dozens of tags in there  yearly. I go over early October and occupy one of your “Treasured”  campgrounds to save a spot for my brethren, then we proceed to nullify your deer population. Why??? Because we can. IDGF lets us. They want our money. We stay till November 1 then kill a couple whitetail on the way home. Why??? Because we can. Idaho is like an Easter egg hunt to me. There's stuff under every tree. I just have to pay the price of admission. But, here’s the news cowboy, OR, CA, UT, NV hunters know this as well. It’ll change someday, but until then, we’re Gonna rape and pillage your village. Booyah.

I guess your right. I’d love e for you all to come over and enjoy our many camp grounds. Just leave by September. The game in those woods belongs or Idaho 

If its National forest and it belongs to everybody already... then the animals living within those forests belong to Everybody as well. If Idaho really wants an area to not have as much pressure.. then they need to limit not only the NR tags but the resident tags as well until the numbers and quality reach their objective. I've always dreamed of hunting Idaho, Montana, Colorado, New Mexico, and Alaska. Most of my life I haven't had the time or money. Now that I'm getting to a point where I would be able to afford the costs and time the hunts that I have read about and dreamed about are being limited... Guess I will either come over to those units for early season or save my money and go visit friends and family down in the southern states and shoot hogs and gators... Except Alaska.. I will definitely keep saving for my Kodiak grizzly hunt up there lol! Well either way, whats done is done. Time to make due with what we have left. I just hope when I have kids and they grow up that they still have the opportunity to hunt, fish, and generally enjoy the outdoors.

The wildlife is held in trust for the states citizens. Which means the citizens of the other 49 states are letting the citizens of Idaho graze/browse their assets on our land for free. So maybe we should ask them to start paying grazing fees?

Odds are I won’t draw a tag in there. So why would I care if the unlimited residents manage the herd or wolves manage the herd? Or the outfitters with their tag set aside? Well since I really really dislike wellfair I hope the wolf population explodes and outfitters can’t sell one deer hunt in there so the outfitter set aside is useless.

So now when it comes to donating money to fight the wolf issue in Idaho, or land closures, or Idaho implementing auction tags I won’t waste my time or money on a state that doesn’t care about out of staters. Why would anyone when most of what was posted on this thread by Idaho residents basically said sweet stay out?

I can see why different types of hunting gets banned, why wolves got introduced, etc. Why would anyone from back east care about trapping or wolves when states say sorry it’s your land also, we are going to raise our citizens animals on it for free, but you can’t hunt them.

I’ll use Idaho when I have nothing better going on. But I definitely will not spend any time or money helping them fight any issues.

Don't let these vocal "born again" Idahoans from California and Washington get you down.

Everyone is territorial...a 2A or K plate in parts of Idaho is as 'bad' as being a Non resident. Eastern Wa residents don't like all the west siders...and on and on. 

The reality is, states like Idaho better manage all the wildlife with the money and support from non residents.  While each state prioritizes its residents input on management, I'm confident IDFG will never turn it's back on NRs...and all the small town businesses sure appreciate your visits. 

None of us want to see another orange vest in our 'spot', but at the same time when something threatens our hunting heritage (unmanaged predators, politicians, anti hunters, land transfers etc.) we are stronger when we are one, relatively large, team. 

In some instances agencies have to reduce hunter numbers, and I support these actions...but anyone who thinks completely alienating a significant portion of the revenue base is a good long term strategy needs to pull their head out.  Do these folks want non hunters paying the Bill's and making hunting and wildlife decisions?? I'll take 10 non resident hunters over a single anti hunter or anti public land zealot!  Yea...non residents might be more competition...but they are not the enemy and should be treated with respect.

[Mudman]

Maybe Id should double the NR prices!  Problem solved.  I hope not but they deserve 1st go and right to manage their lands.

[lord grizzly]

I think we should just flip how the NR tags go on sale. Let us residents be able to buy them at the increased price up till August 1st then the NR guys can have the table scraps. Kills two birds with one stone. Revenue stays where it needs to and NR hunter numbers decreased.

[Skyvalhunter]

Sounds good from your side but not a non res side

I wonder why a guy from Idaho {Lord Grizz} has nothing better to do than stir this pot, 20 plus posts and counting on this subject, maybe he's bored sitting in his trailer filled with beer cans and cat turds, maybe the mods should charge him to post on here, either way he has convinced me and my four hunting companions to put in for Idaho from now on. Good Job dude.
