Title: Idaho second tag discount
Post by: Sitka_Blacktail on August 21, 2014, 11:37:11 AM: Just took advantage of Idaho's discount for non resident second tag prices on deer and elk tags and purchased a second deer tag for my hunt there this year. I figured I'd rather give the $199 to Idaho than to Weyerhauser or Rayonier to hunt at home since I already had a trip to Idaho planned. Second elk tags are 299, but I really don't need a second elk. One will be plenty if I get it.

I'm also going to pass on the any season permit for elk I drew in Washington this year. Someone else may end up with it, but it's the only way to show the State of Washington my displeasure for allowing logging companies to charge access fees. My plan is to scale back my hunting and tag and draw purchasing in Washington until paying to hunt goes away. By allowing it, the State has made it way more cost effective to hunt out of State. I will continue to hunt deer and grouse in Washington, to hunt with friends and family there, but I'm done with everything else for now, except possibly putting in for my once in a lifetime moose permit.

I will be hunting on my second deer tag in 8 more days!

You'll save that in gas if you hunt both Idaho deer in the same area. I figured fuel and access permits in Washington made the extra Idaho tag a no brainer.

good point! And especially good if you can pull a controlled hunt as first tag and hunt otc in your reguLr areas as well.
