[OleoOutfitters]

I got my nonres buddies all of their tags. They were having no luck online.

I'd laugh, but I'm not in the mood.

The only way to make this truly random would be to only allow online purchases.

These were the elk options left when I got in with a high 1300s number

I don’t understand what’s happened since they went to this method. Just a few years ago there were always leftover tags for most of the state. Is it strictly the fear of missing out or just competition drives people nuts?

Don’t worry everyone there will be plenty of lolo and middlefork tags available come august!

 

[cravingame]

Sold out a bunch of units at lic vendors within 12 minutes, the update on the website is wrong. A lot of those tags are not available.

What should I get?

 

[NevadaMike]

Looks like I "get " to save almost $1000 today. There is that.

Boise River A

Whys that?

What is the going rate for Idaho res that will successfully buy your nonres tags in-person for you?

One million dollars

As an Idaho resident, this is the best day of the year on Rokslide.

Being able to buy multiple tags for others in person is BS if you ask me. Have heard stories of guys standing in line with a guy in front of them buying 10 tags for others. Would think it would be reasonable to only allow direct family or cap the amount you can buy for others. With the way it is, what is stopping someone from creating a business to buy others tags in person?

Boise River A

Late Season Archery! Yay

 

[Jimmy]

Numbers are dropping faster now...

 

[CorbLand]

Does anyone know how seriously Idaho has considered putting some of these high-demand units into a draw system? If they're trying to allocate fairly, this first-come-first serve system has run its course with this much demand.

How would a randomly assigned number to buy it be any different than a randomly assigned number to draw?

At least you looked at the dates. I think that is more than a lot of people trying to buy online are doing.

I’ve been flying in to buy a non res Id tag, this my 3rd year. It used to be a good strategy. Now even at a rural vendor, there were 25 guys in line behind me.
I can only imagine what it was like in places in Boise that are easy to get to.

Mostly residents buying tags for other guys I know for a fact some of them were charging 300 bucks and up.

On my plane yesterday, I counted approximately 27 hunters flying in to buy a tag, heck I talked to 10 of them. One guy said an outfitter told him $2000 to buy a tag for him.

The unit I wanted was sold out as of 10:03. I had the website up on my phone, it was slow to update sold out tags.

Flying worked, until now.

Dont be giving EPIC and Huntin Fool any ideas.

Because the outfitters return all their unsold tags to the general pool and all the people that panic bought the zones will return them once they do some research.

That sucks to fly in and not get what you wanted
