Non-residents in Idaho Shed Hunting

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.

Still opens at 10am:)

Next year (if they go to a draw) you will need to buy the same non refundable license just to apply for a deer or elk tag. Seems to be a small fee to pay if you are driving to Idaho to collect antlers when it’s the same license to apply for a tag that has no guarantee of even being able to go to the state and hunt for deer or elk.
