My buddy got his Deer and Elk for his areas and he was on at 10 AM. I couldn't get on at 10 am, work was crazy yesterday. I got on line at 7 PM and got a Deer tag ( I see they are gone as of 4:30 this morning) I knew Elk tags would be gone where I wanted to go and they were. There a few Elk tags left around the state just not sure if I am going to pull the trigger. I dont like or dont know any of the areas that are left

Good job and good luck to all who got their tags in time
The mountains are calling and I must go

I'm curious if Idaho will sell out or not. Might be people who say if I can't get the units I want, then I won't hunt there this year. And with the higher prices are they willing to try areas they don't want? Guess we'll see.

Some interesting points for those who haven't looked.

The line was at 22,000 people who have waited for some period of time in the middle of the day yesterday.

Today they have 6,606 tags remaining of 12,815 Quota Available for Zone Elk A & B Tag.  Interestingly, when I add up the quota I get 11,724 Quota Available.  I wonder if the difference is the outfitter tags? That would seem about right.  This doesnt seem out of sync with previous years, but their little quota game sure scared the socks off of people.

For deer tags, they have 7,500 left this morning on the 14,000 quota.  Sure some units are sold out, but there are plenty that are not.

I really think Idaho should've focused on the specific areas that had problems with quotas (like they have elsewhere) and let the rest self-regulate.  Heck, even WA doesn't make you pick a specific unit for deer or elk!

I sincerely hope they do not sell out.

I was curious how the price increases, and additional restrictions, would play out.

It kept me out of the game. That’s after buying 5 Idaho tags last year. I wanted to do something but I didn’t have a for sure plan in place yet. I almost panic-bought a couple different times but ultimately said screw it. I think at last years prices I would have pulled the trigger on a “just in case” tag

Doesn't matter to Idaho.
Due to the price increases they have already made the same amount of money selling less tags.

The price you can get is the price someone is willing to pay.

Soon only the rich will hunt just like the other over populated country's.

I'm not hunting Idaho next year on higher non res prices and being limited to a specific unit. More room for others I guess and hopefully it improves the hunting for them.

 :yeah:  I was lined up to buy. I was logged in and in the queue before go time. By the time it was my chance, all deer and elk tags in my area were gone. I know there are lots of tags available in other places, but I really have no interest in spending that kind of money to go explore when I know where the animals are in my area. Actually left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. The part that made the most upset is that I won't get to go elk hunting in familiar ground with my Dad. He's only got so many opening days left, and now we're left trying to figure out WTF to do, and where to go.

That's just me venting, everyone had the same opportunity, we just logged on 30 seconds to late I guess.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

This was not directed at you.
Just a statement that I believe will prove to be true over the years.

This really bums me out.
I'm sincerely sorry to those that didn't get tags.
It's BS.

I hope the state doesn't ask the feds for a single dollar to manage their animals but we know BLM and the USFS will still continue to do so.
They aren't JUST the state of Idaho's animals IMHO.

So sincere question to those upset. Why is what idaho is doing so grossly offensive but its fine in basically every other western state for basically the exact same money? And for those put off by the price, where you gonna go hunt for less money? There are still THOUSANDS of tags available in idaho that you can just hop online and buy. Theres deer and elk in every unit available just waiting to be hunted. When laying on your death bed will you look back on your life and say "man I'm glad I hunted less and saved that $90 on an idaho deer tag and license". Food for thought.
It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men.  Rather, we should thank god that such men lived.  -General George S. Patton

I have no skin in the game but for me, the biggest downside was having to pick a single unit. I have hunted a few areas in Idaho over the years but not sure which one I would go back to if I was to hunt. I feel for the guys that have a unit they have hunted for years that got sold out before they could buy or also for the guy that has never hunted Idaho and just needs to choose a random unit. The price, for me at least, doesn't really matter since I pay a stupid amount on tags in other states anyway.  :twocents:
