Not sure who this Adam guy is?Awww, poor Adam won't get his second tag. How sad. At least he's got his NR Utah deer tag to look forward to.

The only complaint I could see anyone having against NR hunters in Idaho would be that they are not capped in most areas so you do see a lot of them concentrated in the more well known areas. But they paid their dues just like residents have so who the hell cares? Hunt some place else if it's overcrowded.
My biggest gripe with IDFG isn't NR at all, but rather the INSANE amount of landowner tags, extra tags, depredation tags ON TOP OF the damages that get paid out to landowners. All these GD landowners bitch and moan about damages but most refuse to allow access to hunt but they sure cash in on the payouts. I think if there's any bitching to be done, that's where it should go, not the NR hunters that took "your spot."

I'm not concerned about the dorks with two deer and two elk tags that can't even fill one of them. I'm concerned about the legit serious hunters that fill 5 or 6 tags across a few species every single year.Biggest problem is: if there are less people with two tags, there will be more people with one tag. More people to trip on in the mountains.
I agree with that as well. I want the freedom to hunt as much as I want. But hope others who are killing 4-5 elk and 2-4 deer every year aren’t killing the hunting world in general.I'm not concerned about the dorks with two deer and two elk tags that can't even fill one of them.

be sure to let your local legislator know these issues, especially the next time they try to ram some type of landowner welfare down idfg’s throat. The current access/depredation fee was exactly that, legislators told the dept they weren’t getting a fee increase unless they took care of landowners.
The landowner deal and their sweet set up provided by Idaho code is really frustrating. Money in, don’t allow any access, shoot big critters with lo tags.
I'm in favor of eliminating the 2nd tag across the board, deer and elk. We all complain about low animal numbers and winter kill, me included. Skilled, experienced, well equipped hunters with 2 tags is just making matters worse, R and NR respectively.
