If you don't want non residents hunting "your" state, talk to the Idaho Fish & Game department. It's getting kind of old reading all your negative posts every time someone on here mentions that they are going to hunt Idaho. Do you really think complaining on here about it is going to prevent us from going there to hunt?

I tried that and got my spike camp trashed by a local guide deep in the church....I'm over it now though....

Not really.

I wish all states managed their wildlife like Idaho. Every year they address the concerns of the hunting community and try to make the product they are selling better. Game departments aren't selling animals, they are selling opportunity to hunt them. That particular hunt is advertised as a mule deer rut hunt in the wilderness. People that apply expect a wilderness experience when they go on that hunt and that's not what they were getting. Idaho changed it for the better of the people that get the opportunity to hunt there. I applaud them for be so proactive.
I imagine they will adjust the tags for non-residents again in 2-3 years after they see what the response is from Idaho hunters. If Idahoans start utilizing these tags more you wont see a large raise in non-resident tags. If residents don't show up Idaho will allocate more tags to non-residents. I think some of you are making this a bigger deal than it really is.
If Idahoans are concerned about the amount of deer taken they need to pressure IDFG to discontinue all second deer tags. I know lots of Idaho residents that buy the second tag for $300. They only do that because they are good at killing deer and know they will fill the tag. If that second tag was a first tag to a non-resident I would bet it has a far less chance of being filled.

Not to try and turn this into a tribal or "native" debate... but there is scientific proof that our tribes were in fact NOT the first ones here. Truth is we are ALL immigrants technically! Just some of us have had family here longer than others.

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.

my experience is Alaska really likes to stick it to non-residents vs  residents. I went up diy black bear hunt residents can shoot 3 bears  for free we could legally shoot one and it cost 400-500 dollars? same thing on my diy caribou hunt. But I was gratefull to be able to go up their and hunt and fish

That's a different situation lol! Most of Alaska's residents hunt those animals to feed themselves and family throughout the year. Non residents use the meat for themselves and family as well but also have a much better opportunity to go to a store and stock up on groceries, comparatively to Alaska's grocery prices... if they can even get the groceries in to the area sometimes. Its no joke when they say that in Alaska sometimes a gallon of milk is $10. Idaho you could probably snowmobile or drive down to the local store and everything is right there. Sometimes in Alaska they might not have groceries in the store or such a limited amount that they charge SUPER high prices. Plus shipping products to Alaska is expensive! Idaho is close to states that produce a LOT of the things that stores need. Its a tad different having to fill a freezer to the line with meat to make sure yourself or your family doesn't starve compared to being able to run down to the store and get what you need in 30-45 minutes.

Not sure that makes sense... wouldn’t whoever was the first by definition be native? Thus the natives would be the first? You guys are hilarious

Todays natives are what we are talking about, pretty simple to understand.   

[lord grizzly]

Uh yeah...you guys were getting legalistic so I was too. Look up the definition of native

[W_Ellison2011]

Uh yeah...you guys were getting legalistic so I was too. Look up the definition of native

Ok... let me change it... the "Indians" we have now were not the first people to inhabit this land! Does that work for you?

[W_Ellison2011]

I do want to point out... that even with these facts about our "Indians," I still respect the tribes that do things the right way and don't do more harm than good. There is bad in every group! There is also good in every group! Just wanted to make that clear before someone thought I was bashing.
