 I'm not going to bust on Idaho.... I really like the old way of just buying my tags for where I want, when I wanted.  It's not that way anymore and it sucks, but I think this is fair. I would rather see a draw where you can apply with buddies and everyone draws or they don't.... I blame the internet, Steve Rinella, gohunt and Cameron Haines.. it is what it is.

Idaho tags, they have a que system preventing you from going directly to tags sales website.

I have zero problem talking down about Idahos system

This system manipulates hunters with artificial demand and destroys the comradery of hunting in groups...its laughable they still call it OTC...non residents lost alot and seems some don't even realize it.

Advantages to every system but I wish they wouldn't have been so sleezy with this one

Hunting partner was way ahead of me in line. Hung out until I got in and we got a tag we could both purchase. I guess that makes it slightly different than a draw…?

I just logged back in for kicks and got right in...

And head's up ...elk tags state wide are almost completely gone... except selway :chuckle:

Deer tags are shrinking...this will be an all time record sales..

Took us about 6 hours to get in, but the wife and I got the last 2 regular deer tags in the unit we wanted. The funny thing is the whitetail only tags sold out before the regular deer tags in our unit. :dunno:
The best friend a guy could have asked for. RIP chasing pheasants in heaven Denali girl.

Got on first thing. Got number 2375 ish. 22 min wait. Got my deer tag. Buddy didn’t get his so I logged back in under his name. Waited 3 hours got his deer tag. Only to find out I got myself the wrong deer tag. I needed a whitetail tag for unit one when I got a reg deer tag for unit one. Now comes the search to find someone who needs to trade! We’re putting in for a controlled unit so it might not matter.

I seen that with the regular deer tag vs the white tail deer tag

What's the difference between the two?

I'm confused - I got a reg deer tag for unit one, but it's good for whitetail and mule deer, right?  The general whitetail tag opens up other northern units, but my thought was the reg deer would give better controlled draw options.  So what's the issue?
