Shoot or No Shot 2019 - Episode #1

[Karl Blanchard]

Fully aware about reduced cost units.  I've killed a bear on a reduced tag.  That said, theres more units which are full price vs reduced.  Even at 40 bucks a pop I'm not wasting $100 on predator tags. Hunted idaho for 15 years.  Minus bears (dont care to shoot them) I've never had a crack at a cougar or wolf.  So if I had bought tags every season on the off chance at an opportunity, I'd be over $1,600 and counting nto that opportunity.  Think the better financial choice would be to gamble and burn my elk/deer tag on it

Thwack.  That's where I'd try to settle my pin anyway.

Karl, they are $40something for NR bear/cougar tags in certain zones/units (guess it's dependent upon population?).  I know where Lamrith hunted in ID a few years ago it was that way (reduced NR fees for those two types of tags).
