Idaho doubles down on hating nonres hunter
« on: August 30, 2021, 06:27:49 PM »
Looks like Idaho is going to give in to the outfitters and give up to 50% of nonresident tag quotas to outfitters. Now there will be even fewer tags for the nonresidents to fight for on December 1st.

As long as the tags get sold and they get the revenue I don’t think they care who gets the tags.

So does the state get more revenue for the tags if sold through an outfitter? Are there that many hunters now that go guided?

They can’t even sell all the outfitter tags they get now

Time to restrict the residents to zones as well

Well, looks like it'll be even harder to get a tag in Idaho.

It looks like the outfitters claimed there wasn’t enough tags available for the units they could guide in so the state is giving in.

The state gets more money buy selling a state outfitter license on top of the nonresident tag.

No, just more expensive.

Nonresidents don't vote so we will always get the short end of the stick.

That said, the pendulum always swings to and fro.  Guides win but others lose and they will get loud the next legislative session.  Idaho hates Washington plates except they like WA debit and credit cards and the cheap resident tags NR hunters make possible.  Same story with MT & WY.

They have the tags and opportunity and there are plenty of NR guys that will pay literally whatever they ask.

There were over 1k outfitter tags left over last year. What’s adding more tags to them going to do? Allow residents to get a second tag late?

Where this hurts the diy guy is the better/more popular units and zones.  For example, 10a deer tags, those will be even harder to get...but other units will still be plenty easy come Aug 1...for now.

Like what went on in Montana, I don't support catering to outfitters over diy guys.  Public resource should be equally accessible to outfitted or diy NR's.  That said, I would support a very small fraction of outfitter set asides in both states...but not the numbers they are getting here (or in MT).

It's all a crap sandwich, I hate this.  Loved stopping in the local grocery store in Orofino on the way to the woods on Oct 8th to grab my 10A rifle elk tag, used to be one of the highlights of the trip.  All gone now, where are the good ole days.

Barely any outfitters in the unit I hunt, anyway.  So I'll possibly be forced to contract an outfitter to hunt land I know better than any outfitter does (private land that I work and hunt on)?   No thanks, Idaho.  Enjoy presiding over the decline in NR tag sales.  I doubt you'll make up for it with resident revenue.
