Non-residents in Idaho Shed Hunting
Broomd:
You guys are funny, how do you know which legislators 'step foot into the hills'? Pure anecdotal crap.
It's not enough that the hordes of non-res hunters commence on this state every Fall, but heaven forbid Idaho should decide to put a premium on antler gathering for additional state revenue. Horrors! By all means those items which all belong to the people of Idaho should be FREE FOR EVERYONE!
Maybe the best thing that some can do is be THANKFUL that this state hasn't completely f*cked their own resource to the point that neighboring states indeed have. Most of you will be here in the next 7-8 months anyway so quit the bitching.

Isn’t there a hunting Idaho page where you can harass people?

So how would I prove my whitetail rattling antlers I brought from Washington?

I was waiting for a response like this, comical. If possible, take your hate for non residents out of the equation. Ask yourself, should a state require an almost $200 license to pick up shed antlers on national forest land? If you think that is right, I know how you vote!
chukardogs:
My post was strictly referring to the rule about picking up a skull with antlers attached and the idea that a poacher would shoot an animal and come back for it expecting it to be where it was when he shot it. I killed a buck last year 100 yards from my camp. Took the animal out that night, by the time I got back in the next day to get camp, there was no sign an animal was killed there. The year before that, I moved the quarters off of my buck to my camp to get them away from the carcass. The next morning, I found a bear had taken the carcass down into a deep dark draw that would have persuaded anyone to leave it alone. Unless the poacher chained the skull to a tree or hung the head and horns in a tree, the odds of coming back a few days or weeks later and finding your kill where you left it is damn near nil. So if the rule was made with poachers in mind, I stand by the post.
As far as Idaho making it a law for the out of state shed hunter to have a license. Their state, their resource, their choice. If the license is truly 185 dollars, I can only assume, the amount they lost was minimal. The person that doesn't hunt and just likes to wander the hills to see what they can find will go elsewhere, which may have been the aim all along. The people that buy an out of state license to hunt will keep on doing what they do. I personally could give two cents but I'm sure Idaho had a fairly good idea how much money this decision would cost them and figured why not.
