Refunding all NR licenses would have a crippling effect on both state's game agencies.

I think that is what is known as a rumor. In MT, they will give you a refund if you want one and spring hunts are resident only, but fall hunts are unchanged. They do have a 14 day quarantine now, but that may be lifted in a couple days or extended.

I would think so, havent seen no facts, i am sure it is a rumor but worth looking into.. But honestly nothing would surprise me right now..

Last I checked if you bought Idaho tags before the cutoff April 4th, you're good to go. But they stopped selling to non residents on that date.

How Governor Little's updated stay-at-home order may affect your travel to Idaho
On Wednesday, April 15 Governor Brad Little updated Idaho’s stay-home order including new changes related to nonresidents' travel into the state. For nonresidents who currently possess an Idaho license, permit, or tag you are encouraged to review the new order at https://coronavirus.idaho.gov/.
Additionally, guidance to nonresident outdoor recreation and the temporary suspension of some nonresident license, tag, and permits sales can be found under the “Recreation” section of the of the Governor’s Additional Guidance on Statewide Stay-Home order.
New F&G process for hunters to exchange or buy returned elk tags starts April 23
Every year, a few hunters return and exchange their general season elk tag. Often the returned tags are highly sought-after tags, so Fish and Game has identified a more consistent and transparent way of handling them.
Please read more on these changes regarding both 1) The exchange of over-the-counter elk tags for returned tags from sold-out capped zones, and 2) The sale of the returned elk tags after capped elk zone tags sell out, or after statewide nonresident quotas for deer and elk tags are met.

Oregon is definitely doing it. https://myodfw.com/COVID-19

Non-residents can still buy elk and deer tags. IDFG isnt going to cut off one of their biggest revenue streams (non-resident big game tags). Quick google search will get you these results.
