Idaho nonresident question

[Longfield1]

Well I bought a panhandle A elk tag. I know it’s thick and tough but I don’t want to hunt elk in Washington next year.

I had 16,964 so by the time I was up all the Elk/Deer DAV tags were gone. I picked up a full-price white-tail tag so I have at least one out-of-state hunt next yr in some pretty country in Nov.

How is waiting in a virtual line with 50k people any better than changing all non-resident hunts to controlled.

Great tag 🤙🏻

Feeling like I don’t deserve my over the counter Idaho resident tag that I take so for granted. Talked to a guy at the gas station here this morning that left the west side last night after work, drove all night and then slept in the parking lot of our gas station. Woke up at 5 and got in line to wait 😳 That’s a ton more effort than I put in, just saying 😂

I can’t believe 37 whitetail was the first deer tag to sell out. That’s the last unit in the state id want a whitetail tag for.

Lines were longer this year than last year. South units sold out early.

I actually had a buddy hook me up this year and I don’t feel bad about it. I’ve been hunting Idaho for a long time and I want to keep it that way.

Although the system can be frustrating. It is a million times better than a draw.

My time came up way faster then I thought and was at work and picked a unit 15 deer tag. When I been talking about units further south all morning. Better learn the unit or return the tag later I guess.

Been hearing from guys that drove over and waited in line about allot of tag mules this year..
Seemed every guy in line was buying 10-20 tags.

I think that's something that needs to be addressed.

I got my first buddy a tag in 3 minutes then went to the back of the line and got my other buddy a tag 20 minutes later. I saw a lady buy 5 peoples tags with 20 people behind her. I would be pissed. The vendors and customers need to complain alot about how this is being ran. Its just not a fair system at all. If you dont know someone in Idaho or its too far to drive you are probably screwed

It's basically a controlled hunt now the way it is only free and you don't have to wait months to find out results. Heck I haven't even unpacked from my Montana hunt and I already have 10a whitetail tags.

Not necessarily, I am in that boat and the last two years got what I was after although it’s not necessarily one of the desired units (it’s my desired unit).
