Big Game Hunting > Out Of State Hunting

Idaho General Season Going to Draw for Nonresidents

Something needed done to make the distribution of tags fair.  License vendors prioritizing friends/family, multiple devices, etc. all made for a corrupt distribution of a public resource.  I think a draw simplifies a lot of things, but also think there will be plenty of opportunity for folks to pick up tags throughout the year if they are on the ball.  I'm always amazed at how quickly tags go....a lot of units I wouldn't pickup a tag if it was laying on the road in front of me.

How unfortunate to see this happen.  It's a big loss from my perspective, when you could typically get an Idaho tag somewhere, every year, and go hunt.

I've always wondered how things would play out if every state were on the same page and worked together.  If all states did the same draw system, with the same rules for nonresidents. Every state requiringing you put in by March, notified by May 1st. No refund on tags, no sell/give backs. Must buy a license to apply. I know so many people that play the systems against each other with drawing a tag, giving it back if they draw a different state, blah blah blah. I think there are enough opportunities for everyone to hunt, but not if some guys are taking tags and not hunting. I met guys in MT that would buy 5 doe tags each, go over with 15 deer tags, load up a truck, then disperse them to family when they got home.

This change takes away the ability to out work your compitition and get a tag. So pathetic.
Welcome to the new America where hard work isn't rewarded anymore.
The dumbing down of our country continues.
