Just a $75 fine and of course an additional amount per shell and stick if caught…. Where does it stop?

I'm pretty sure there are already some kinda laws about removing driftwood and shells.

Apparently I am part of the uniformed old farts that just assumed simple privileges still existed....ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?  :dunno:... We took the grandkids to the Oregon coast in mid January to see the king tides for the first time... We went to Yaquina Bay lighthouse and had a great time.... While down on the beach, a guy in a road construction vest reminded us ( and others) that we could not  take anything from the beach... we all had a few keepsakes in our pockets....  :yike:... later that day we had a great time on the beach in front of our hotel in Lincoln City with easily 100+ people collecting agates and shells that the king tides had brought in.... Some people were out there well into the night with headlamps on- everyone had a great time; brought back some great memories, and created new ones for the little ones... My grandkids made some outstanding presents and personal keepsakes from the shells and agates they found; things that will be cherished for a very long time.....so; my question is,.... WTF!!!???? :dunno: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:.. pretty fffffffffffffffff sad......

Oh I get it and I never once said I thought it was a good idea. It's asinine!!! I only said, I can only be angry about so many things at once or I'd be pissed non-stop. Every time I see a "War is Terrorism" bumper sticker, I want to rip my scalp off. Every time I pack for a trip and my wife says, you have to leave your pocket knife at home, I break into hives. Our entire society has lost its mind. People can't be relied on to use basic common sense therefore our government thinks they have to do it for them. The problem with it all, there are enough idiots out there that it's hard to argue with the authorities when a lot of the evidence supports their position. Crying shame but it's not gonna get any better until it gets a lot worse. I hear it's called change. 

EnglishSetter:
seems goofy to me.  Idaho (or any other state) benefit$ from people recreating in their state. 

For decades, SD didn't allow pheasant hunting until 10 a.m.  This wasn't to protect the birds, but to promote out-of-state hunter's eating, drinking, spending money well into the evening/night.  The couple months of bird season was the "time of wealth" for many rural communities.

But shed hunting has become quite commercial in recent years and Idaho deserves a piece of the action.  Perhaps an excise tax (based on weight?) on exit. Target those with commercial aspirations and not the guy who finds an antler or two in happenstance.

TeacherMan:
As a shed hunter and Idaho resident, I definitely enjoy it, though I do think the license is pretty expensive. Every spring, before I can get my rig to the areas where most of our elk shed up the St. Joe, I’m usually beaten to the punch by out-of-state groups (mostly with Washington plates) and their tracked rigs, probably commercial guys. With the amount of antlers they pull, I’m sure I’ll still run into them. One decent elk shed likely pays for their entire license. I do have my shed dogs to help out, though, and they give me an edge in finding the sheds that others miss. Still, it always feels like a race to get there first.
