Non-residents in Idaho Shed Hunting
chukardogs:
Oh and just because I'm not mad as hell about something that doesn't affect me in any way, doesn't mean I don't find it asinine. I only have so much anger to give and something like this, no matter how dumb, asinine or ridiculous I find it, meh.

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!

Meh, 'hate,' total bullsh*t. Own the whining because in the end that's what it is. Be grateful for the opportunities that exist! The animals here and their sheds are property of the people of Idaho, the same could be said of Washington's game. State sovereignty is a thing.
You know nothing about my 'vote' fail to see the relevance anyway.

Honestly, I can see Idaho’s point in doing this. The area I hunt over there years ago they had problems with guys driving along the river, shooting bucks at night spotlighting ,then coming back in the spring to get the heads so they could sell the horns to make money. So the deadhead law in Washington to a point, I could see their line of thinking. I still think it’s a dumb law.i think poachers are going to do it no matter what until they get caught. Instead of making it illegal why not just make and enforce a much stiffer penalty on the people that are doing it.
As far as the shed hunting license goes in Idaho, in the area I hunt in the spring there are truckloads of people that come through and do it for a business picking up the sheds to sell. And it’s not hunters they have to go in and pick them up. So I’m wondering if that was some of the motivation to make this law. Maybe to cut down on the big groups that are pushing the wintering deer and elk around.

This is really in response to neighboring states creating similar regulations. I can see peoples fuss about their “rights”. Wyoming and Utah created similar regulations in recent years, as well as more restrictive shed gathering seasons and closures.. When they did Idaho started getting absolutely r*ped by residents of those two states because they couldn’t recreate in their own. SE Idaho has a lot of winter closures, I’ve seen a good number of guys from wyo and Utah chasing herds on snow machines in closed winter range. It’s absolutely a profit thing for some guys. I know some that make a couple thousand a year selling sheds. Love it or hate it, they needed to do something to protect their resources once their neighbors closed up shop.
