If you tell a lie enough it becomes true... hunters will never be happy until theres a 6 point bull standing next to the road and they havent seen a single other hunter in a week.....but you know it wasnt long ago it would have been a 7 point bull and no hunter in 2 weeks !!! No no no no...before that we had 8 point bulls and no sight of another human in 1 month !!! Aghhhhh we need change !!!
Honest this was a convo i had with a idaho resident just this last year ..he wanted big bulls next to the road all for just him and that was how he wanted it managed..he was going to make some calls !! Things HAVE to change ! :rolleyes:
Hunters will never be happy as 80-90% dont fill there tags...its not the 10% that cry we need change...theyve adapted..

@muleyslayer
Thanks for the fascinating information.
Where did you find that data? I looked throughout IDF&G's website, and could not find hunter statistics.

So much truth to this. The whole issue with Idaho is the hype and panic buying of the tags mostly caused by the residents complaining until they made you choose a unit for deer. And the dumb equation the state of Idaho chose to use actually puts more nonresident hunters into the most heavily hunted units of residents. Not into the units with the most public land and fewest residents hunters… :bash:

Prime example of how these new changss are not actually for management but for the percieved ideas of what hunting "should" be of those that fail... its a continously moving target... and thats somthing no system will ever solve
But hey... its fair :chuckle:
