Idaho NR general tag going to draw?

[BRTreedogs]

They should have made it first come first serve in person opening day of season.
No scouting, show up with all you stuff, see if you get a tag.
That would of given residents opening morning to themselves as well.

. . . the freeloaders having tags bought for them.

What makes you think it was free?

 

[BRTreedogs]

The only reason I did that for people is because I couldn’t do it for myself since I have a lifetime license. It was fun.

Yeah man.
But you are putting down a lot of people on here that didn’t have that opportunity for whatever reason. Didn’t have the time or money, didn’t have a friend. Or like me I didn’t even realize it was a thing.

 

[BRTreedogs]

What makes you think it was free?

So what was the work?
Having to go to work to make the money to pay ya?
Actually yeah going to my job would be way worse

No doubt about that

I’m just tired of everyone complaining like they couldn’t have done it. We all have the same 24 hours. I have no money, my wife is in dental school, I still found myself time and money to get up there. Obviously not quite the same because I’m 4 hours from the vendor I drove to but anyone could have done it. And no, no one paid me a dime. It was just fun to participate. Never even hunted with someone I helped haha

 

[IdahoBeav]

Speaking of the lifetime license, that will be the ticket going forward, and there is a possibility that IDFG stops selling lifetime licenses in the future.

Everyone doesn’t have the same family life, jobs, or financials though.

Now granted if they don’t have the financials I don’t think they should be worried about being a NR hunter.

But like me, by December I’ve used all my PTO to go actually hunting. Like real life hunting for real animals, not a tag.

And my employer does not allow un paid days for, they consider it missed production, & theft from the company.
So I should risk my entire livelihood for a chance at a tag?

Then the solution is super easy. Since we all have the same time and all. Go get rich and buy landowner tags. Hunt every year. Others do it, no reason you can’t.

Another option is if you are tired of people complaining about it.

Don’t get online man, don’t click on the ID NR tag thread.

You are literally torturing yourself man.

This actually would be really fun. Kinda like hunting the NWR refuges for ducks. You show up the night before to get in the drawing to see if you are even going to be able to hunt the next morning.

Everyone I knew coming from back east was LEO. They scheduled it a year in advance. That was an option. Now there’s one option.

You’re right, they already complained the opportunity away.

 

[BRTreedogs]

Are they going to have the draw in place for the 2026 season?

 

[IdahoBeav]

Are they going to have the draw in place for the 2026 season?

No, see ya Dec 10.

 

[BRTreedogs]

No, see ya Dec 10.

That is something all the blabbing on Rok has accomplished.
Is cluing me into that.

[Timberline001]

No, see ya Dec 10.

The press release stated it’ll be implemented December of 2025.

 

[IdahoBeav]

The press release stated it’ll be implemented January of 2026.

How did you find that out? Did you actually go to a F&G website to find info on regulations and changes?

 

[Pacific_Fork]

Huh, I saw/read it as implemented for the 2026 season which means it’s a draw this December.
