This is the dumbest thread I've seen in awhile Limiting non res hunters down to 10% from 57 % ??Increase the tag fees ? Tags will still sell out Talking bout buying a 2nd tag & then being worried bout the herds......priceless !
I agree with grizzly on this one. What's wrong with him as a resident wanting less non res hunters? Anybody that is an avid Idaho resident hunter has probably bought a second tag just to stay in the woods. He said he doesn't just fill his second tag with a "meat" buck just too "fill" the tag and I believe him. You can buy a second tag and probably honestly help the herds by not just filling the tag with any legal animal as I often see non residents do. I don't care what someone legally harvests ,resident or non resident, but grizzly buying a second tag doesn't mean he is not concerned with the herds that tag will be bought. Its funny how all the Washington hunters want cheap unlimited Idaho tags but don't want any Idaho guys on a Washington hunting site unless they agree all Washington hunters should have cheap unlimited Idaho tags There is no Idaho hunting forum and you all talk way more about hunting Idaho and Montana than Washington anyways. I realize the revenue out of staters provide but I get sick of the entitlement it makes some people feel they deserve. Idaho wont die without the all mighty out of state dollar. I would gladly pay more for my hunting license if they reduced non resident tags. I also buy second tags at non res prices already. Could Lord Grizzly present things in a better way? YES but jumping on him for wanting less non resident hunters is crap. Every resident of any state worth hunting would like to see less out of state hunters. I love this forum for some reason and I cant quit it although I have tried Maybe you all will kick me off for not wanting truckloads of Washington hunters. fyi I have taken out and hunted with Washington hunters in Idaho. I have no problem with hunters from Washington I would just like a little less of them.
The point people are trying to make is that cheering for someone else's cost to go up and opportunity to go down is not within the spirit of what this forum is about.Most of us wish less hunting pressure where we hunt, but most would not want that to be at the expense of someone else.The fact is that NR money floats the western fish & game agencies boats. Sure, ID, MT, WY and CO could all just triple their resident fees and not deal with it, but that isn't reality. Everyone says they would gladly pay, but when the resident fees go up $5 a year the pitchforks come out. Every time.There will likely always be friction between state agencies that need NR money, residents that don't want NR hunters and those in other states that want an opportunity at a good hunt either better areas or game not available in their home state.To cheer and celebrate for someone to be priced out of the game or to have a different group lose opportunity is poor form in my opinion. It may be unavoidable for tag limits and cost increases, but most of us have the decency to not belittle the other party.

Correct me if I am wrong but if you limit non residents, isn’t that also the second tags the residents are buying at non resident pricing? If that’s the case then there could be less opportunity for you in the future, correct?

The problem I have with lord grizzly is he's been ragging on Washington and Washington hunters since pretty much his day 1 on the forum. I can't even remotely comprehend why he's a member here if he dislikes Washington and it's residents as much as he seems to aside from just being here to stir the pot....which is clearly what he's doing here starting this thread. I couldn't care less about NR fee increases in Idaho.
