Annual Diamond Creek Debacle

[jlaner0408]

So who wants to make the first guess on how quick these tags sell out this year? Just stopped by the IF Sportsman’s Warehouse and there was a line about half the length of the store for people waiting to buy capped zone tags....

I guess i will be part of the lucky ones, I got mine ! I don't understand why would they not just get them online?

Nothing but 350" + in DC. What did you expect

NR tags sold out in about 90 minutes. Good luck!

Non residents took that long?! I figured it would have been under 15 minutes haha

It's crazy how popular DC has become, i started hunting there in '14 (My buddy lived in Boise) i would wait and buy my tag in July when he did, now they're gone in less than 2 hours. Some may recall that in 2015 Bowhunter magazine did an article on the best OTC areas to hunt Elk with a bow out west, they called out two areas in Idaho, one of them being Diamond Creek! I feel like this played a huge factor!

I see they haven't fixed the problem, i was kicked out of the system 5 times trying to buy my DC tag in December....and did not get a tag!

Funny how guys all go to the hunting/ outdoor stores to buy tags. If I was going to buy a capped tag I know where I would go and I would be the only one there.

Only benefit would be that they might have a different access system then we would use from our home computers. i have no idea though

Mine went smooth, i was just nervous when it was 5 after and DC wasn't showing up. I believe i ended up with tag #19

All 6 of us got ours. Tag 8, 28, 98, 298, and 354. Stupid how quick it went.

Probably would have if the system was constantly crashing.

50% of the tags are sold online. 50% are reserved for vendors.

To top things off, the IF store had the power cycling on and off about 10 minutes before they went on sale

I was lucky enough to get one. The zone didn't show up until 10:05 though....

I was eluding to the other types of establishments that sell tags. Lots of places besides hunting stores sell tags.

I would definitely be looking at a mom and pop place over a box store if it had to happen.

They should do that with the non resident tags!

How could they make NR travel to Idaho?

 

[jlaner0408]

And regardless, it would still be the maximum amount of non residents in the state hunting, just like it has been ever since they capped them...
