I was shocked when I joined this forum to see how much Idaho was referenced here. Hate to say it wasn’t surprised when I saw the pie chart for license sales that pointed to 15% of Idaho tags being sold to Washington residents. I genuinely feel bad for Washington residents that have seen their hunting and fishing ruined in the last few decades. I don’t mean this personally, I am sure Washington hunters are great guys, but my new saying since moving here is that the biggest threat to Idaho and Montana hunting, is Washington residents.

Unbelievable that the state next door to us is the 2nd most talked about state on the forum?

I don’t mean this personally, I am sure Washington hunters are great guys, but my new saying since moving here is that the biggest threat to Idaho and Montana hunting, is Washington residents. I'd love to hear some elaboration on that theory. With tags Quotas for NR in both those states I don't see how there could be a threat even if every NR tag went to a WA resident, there's still the same number of NR hunting those states. Or the other way around where not a single WA resident gets a NR tag in those states. There's still the same number of NR hunting that state.This leads back to the issue of a majority of residents in ID and other states have zero clue about how these draws and Quotas work. Ive been listening to the same points of contention from residents in all these states several decades now and they all stem from lack of understanding. Guarantee if you ask almost any ID resident how they feel about the ever growing NR hunting pressure they'd go on and on about how it's out of control and there's just getting to be too many. Rare would be the guy that would say " what are you talking about there's been roughly the same amount of NR tags for 30 years."

I suppose the question I pose is, why not just move over the line? I’m sure some circumstances can’t be changed (career/kids/family/school). Surely you can see the frustration though right? I don’t know of many northwest Idaho guys hopping into Washington to hunt. You could move over the line, support the state you prefer to recreate in as a resident, and just as easily commute to Washington in a sense. I’m sure this analogy isn’t perfect, but it’s like neighbors. It would frustrate the piss out of you if the neighbors yard was a mess, and he constantly came over to your yard to hang out and take things from your yard without giving anything of true value back.

Agreed, it’s a double edge sword. I don’t like it either way haha. The real answer is we just wanted Idaho to stay the way it was. Less people moving in, less people coming to hunt and then broadcasting it so more people did it. It’s not anyone’s fault per se, it’s just the times and society. In reality though, if you’re one of the ones that lives on the border and already hunting Idaho, you might as well move on over. What we don’t want is you moving to the other areas of Idaho where you didn’t recreate before 😂

Your profile says W Wa but you seem to be speaking on behalf of Idaho residents. I'm confused how encouraging all of the state-liners who already hunt ID to move over and become residents, therefore buying more unlimited resident tags and making room for new non-residents to fill their spot in the NR quota would help the situation any?
