Looks to do away with outfitter allocations as well.

Cliffs? Can't read it on a phone

This legislation seeks to improve resident hunter experience by reducing nonresident crowding without
substantially negatively impacting Department of Fish and Game revenue. All hunts will be capped at 10%
nonresident participation. This legislation also seeks to deregulate the outfitting industry by ending the
allocation of elk and deer tags, and providing them a marketing opportunity to tag buyers who opt in

FISCAL NOTE


The fiscal impact is expected to be net neutral once the legislation is fully implemented. The Department of
Fish and Game relies heavily on nonresident tag sales for revenue. This legislation will result in the decrease
of up to $7 million in tag sales. This will be offset by selling left over tags to residents as second tags and by increased license sales to nonresidents.

Thanks man. Im 50/50 on the outfitter tag cut. I'm all for them being a successful business but if we had better hunting they wouldn't need tags set aside for .gov mandated welfare participation.

I'm just glad I got to hunt during the "good ole days" in ID.

Legislature needs to butt out of wildlife management no matter the topic. The last thing we need is politicians making these decisions. It’s a dangerous precedent that leads to decisions made on hysteria vs sound science. This type of thing should scare the shit out of Idaho residents.

Absolutely agree. We can’t get those yahoos back home fast enough. It’s going to get worse before it gets better.

Won’t pass because of the outfitter language is my guess. They have a powerful lobby and already have two bills washing my for more tags. Outfitters want more than they currently have.
