Idaho NR general tag going to draw?

[IdahoBeav]

My initial email was a concern of a vendor purchasing for a list of family and friends and working with an outfitter. I was told that’s not possible and illegal but then they backtracked and basically said vendors could do what they want. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t breaking any laws when I may or may not have coerced someone outside of their normal business hours to open for just me so I could print a bunch of DC tags.

IDFG does have a problem with responses and answers often varying from one employee to another, even when it comes to game regulations. I'd keep pressing on it if I had observed it.

“Very very rare” is far too much when it’s knocking people’s odds down who are trying to do right

It screams of a system that flawed.

I'm not denying that it happens, but what is "it"? If it's multiple proxy sales, yes, that is widespread. If it's outfitters buying, also yes, but it's little compared to DIY proxy sales. If it's a list, also somewhat common to mark honest positions in line. If it's purchasing for more than 5 people, you have to search for that in order to see it. All of this is honest and fair. However, if it's a prepaid and set priority sales list, it's very, very rare, and IDFG routinely requests for reports on it. It's also a miniscule number of vendors among the total across the state. It's easy to find a vendor where this doesn't happen.

I have bought tags for 5 guys more than once, for my party on capped tags and non residents.

Idaho’s capped and non resident system is a joke. Make it a draw, charge 8 bucks, then the parties who hunt together can apply together.

Also make elk weapon specific instead of a fuking story problem to see which seasons and with what you can hunt.
