Who all put in?  Good luck to everyone.

Have a buddy, 2 of my kids and myself in for Moose.  Ouch on the non-refundable fees!

Isnt it only $35 more nonrefundable? $30 increase in license cost and $5 increase in app fee? This doesnt include the tag price increase.

I'm not sure?
I do elk lope deer and not the oil stuff. I have a buddy that put in for moose and he said it was a lot more that they get this year.
Maybe he meant the fee and tag increase?

the tag is a lot more but the only nonrefundable parts are the license and app fee.

I went and looked. Looks like hunting license and app fee is 310.00 you don't get back to just apply for moose.
Not including the tag of 2627.00.

So I think thats what he meant that the 310 is a big chunk just to apply.
Title: Re: Idaho - Moose, Goat, Sheep
Post by: huntnnw on May 05, 2021, 10:06:28 PM
lot of guys already own a license who apply cause they are hunting ID deer, elk or bears

Yes indeed. He does not hunt idaho has only been applying for moose :dunno:

Well, they swallowed nearly $3K of my money for a sheep tag. Hoping I lose all $3K.

Is he buying combo hunting and fishing license? The hunting license for nonres is $185.

Hunting/Fishing Combo $264
OIL App  $45.75
Total   $309.75
Title: Re: Idaho - Moose, Goat, Sheep
Post by: ShaneTyTrey on May 06, 2021, 11:08:38 AM
The big component that everyone is ignoring is the 3% credit card transaction fee on top of the refundable  $2,672.50 that is another $80 you don't get back.  Add that to the license fee (if you aren't hunting OTC deer/elk/bear) and the application fee and you are close to $300/person.  With 3 people in that boat, I am nearly $900 in non-refundable, so hopefully we get lucky.
Title: Re: Idaho - Moose, Goat, Sheep
Post by: BULLBLASTER on May 06, 2021, 11:20:12 AM
Hadnt thought of that as i have always bought my idaho licenses and everything in person.

You buy a hunting license, its your choice if you use it or not.  That's not a fee.   
Title: Re: Idaho - Moose, Goat, Sheep
Post by: ShaneTyTrey on May 06, 2021, 12:18:13 PM
I never said the license was a fee, just that the cost were non-refundable.  There could be years, like for me this year, where I am already committed to Alaska (leave Monday) for Brown bear.  As well as Wyoming, Montana and Colorado for deer.  So I bought the license but don't have time to hunt an OTC unit, again, the license isn't a fee, but it is a cost that is non-refundable and unless I draw the Moose tag certainly will get no use. 

Zero complaint, just the facts.  I personally think this increase in tag fees and the 3% transaction fee may help odds of drawing OIL tags even more in Idaho and like it.

Yes indeed he does a bunch of fishing but doesn’t hunt much anymore, but still puts in for moose as it’s a dream animal for him.

Didn’t think about the credit card that’s a good point to. So more like 380 he doesn’t get back and ends up with a fishing license. Yikes

At least hes getting some use of the fishing license. So not all is lost.

 :yeah: Congratulations on the tag ! I have looked at that quite a bit because of good odds. That can be a really tough hunt with pretty low success for a sheep tag. You probably already knew that putting in. wish I had more information for you. Good luck !

I am 42 and in great shape running 6-9 miles a day currently. I was averaging 12-15 miles a day last summer. I am a teacher so I have the time for three months of intense training and prep. I have had success DIY in the past and can’t stomach 10-12k for a guide. This will probably be my last hurrah at a DIY of this nature. Any one want to tag along or go scouting this summer?

You wouldn’t have to pay for a guide. Packer should be 3k or so. Or rent lamas.

Try and contact a bio for more specific information.

 :tup: I figured you had a plan! I wouldn't consider a guide if I drew that tag either. Pm me I would be interested in at least comparing notes but I will be checking it out  for maybe deer or elk . The plan is to check out some new areas this summer and the very least I would pass on any sheep info I might find

Idaho F&G should step up and make an exception in this case.  If they cant give him a tag this year, they should hold a tag from the draw for next year and give it to the individual in compensation.  This is a terrible mistake and no one should go through that after being notified they had drawn.  Just my opinion.

 :yeah: plus bad way to manage a resource when they have so few tags for a lot of units to potentially take possibly quite a few extra animals out in one year
