Idaho - Moose, Goat, Sheep

[carpsniperg2]

I went and looked. Looks like hunting license and app fee is 310.00 you don't get back to just apply for moose.
Not including the tag of 2627.00.

So I think thats what he meant that the 310 is a big chunk just to apply.

lot of guys already own a license who apply cause they are hunting ID deer, elk or bears

[carpsniperg2]

Yes indeed. He does not hunt idaho has only been applying for moose

Well, they swallowed nearly $3K of my money for a sheep tag. Hoping I lose all $3K.

Is he buying combo hunting and fishing license? The hunting license for nonres is $185.

Hunting/Fishing Combo $264
OIL App  $45.75
Total   $309.75

The big component that everyone is ignoring is the 3% credit card transaction fee on top of the refundable  $2,672.50 that is another $80 you don't get back.  Add that to the license fee (if you aren't hunting OTC deer/elk/bear) and the application fee and you are close to $300/person.  With 3 people in that boat, I am nearly $900 in non-refundable, so hopefully we get lucky.

Hadnt thought of that as i have always bought my idaho licenses and everything in person.

You buy a hunting license, its your choice if you use it or not.  That's not a fee.   

[ShaneTyTrey]

I never said the license was a fee, just that the cost were non-refundable.  There could be years, like for me this year, where I am already committed to Alaska (leave Monday) for Brown bear.  As well as Wyoming, Montana and Colorado for deer.  So I bought the license but don't have time to hunt an OTC unit, again, the license isn't a fee, but it is a cost that is non-refundable and unless I draw the Moose tag certainly will get no use. 

Zero complaint, just the facts.  I personally think this increase in tag fees and the 3% transaction fee may help odds of drawing OIL tags even more in Idaho and like it.

The only time you hope to lose money on your gamble!

Yes indeed he does a bunch of fishing but doesn’t hunt much anymore, but still puts in for moose as it’s a dream animal for him.

Didn’t think about the credit card that’s a good point to. So more like 380 he doesn’t get back and ends up with a fishing license. Yikes

At least hes getting some use of the fishing license. So not all is lost.
