Idaho NR general tag going to draw?

[BRTreedogs]

To recover the budget loss for eliminating non resident tags would probably be under $250 total for resident for both deer / elk.

Quick cost break, definitely missing some stuff but how much more could it really cost?

Elk tags 12,815x652-‎ = 8,355,380

Licenses totals 12,815+14,000+1500‎ = 28,315

License cost 28315x185‎ = 5,238,275

Deer tags 14,000x352‎ = 4,928,000

Deer tags 1500x352‎ = 528,000

8,355,380+5238275+4,928,000+528,000‎ = 19,049,655

19,049,655/200,000‎ = 95.24828

$95 more per resident if 200,000 residents are buying tags

Try to raise it $5 and watch the dudes in the restaurant loose there crap

2020 was the last year I came and hunted with my brother then it went crazy I’m not waiting on the computer and I could have my brother go buy a tag but he’s got better stuff to do than wait around for that .Might apply again if it goes draw don’t know if it’s worth it to me blowing a week of vacation to go elk hunting anymore. The real elephant in the room is the massive resident population increase it will have to be dealt with at some point.

Just a note for all the “draw” folks. I haven’t drawn a control hunt tag in Idaho for 8 years. Think on that while you wish for a change. You may not draw for a few years.

Just out of curiosity is this Control hunt that you apply for: <1% or 5-20% or 25%+ (if there are even any with such high draw odds) type draw odds? That makes a bid diff

You can go 0 for 8 with 25%+ odds.

 

[resident vs nonresident]

Absolutely. I’ve Not drawn in 80%+ instance before.
And if truly unlucky, one could NOT draw 0-8 even with 25% odds. So I was genuinely curious. Cause in that case he’d be very unlucky.
But Not drawing once in 8 years let’s say sub 5% for example is a different story

For me a draw is probably better just so I don't have to deal with the online waiting room sh*t show. I hunt quite bit here in OR and I apply almost everywhere else so i never go all out to get ID tags.

It will be unfortunate for the guys who put in alot of effort and for residents buying tags for non res friends/family.

 

[87TT]

Odds on some are not great but some are pretty good. Elk Deer and Bear. not always the same hunt.

As a resident of Idaho. I would gladly pay double if it meant there were less people in the woods. I understand that not every sportsman can or would want to do this.

I’d give up mule deer hunting every year to have an opportunity at a great hunt.

If it’s a great hunt, the odds will quickly make it a once in a lifetime if that experience. In Colorado lately there are plenty of guys waiting 10-20 years for tags and not having a great hunt.

 

[dreamingbig]

This might actually make me start building pts in ID.

There are no points in Idaho.

Just wait. You got to give it a few years of people thinking and then realizing that taking it to a draw didn’t help. Then they will start to push for point systems.

Aside from a system like Nevada every other state with a point system is desperately trying to find a way to get rid of it without pissing off those with a lot of points. I can't imagine any state would ever adopt a point system after seeing the disaster they have become in so many states...

Luckily that sentiment is in the minority.

You already have an opportunity at a great hunt, take your pick of controlled hunts and apply. No need to give up a general tag every year for those who enjoy that hunt.

OR, nothing going on there
UT, nope
AZ, nothing happening there
WY, they may actually move to Bonus points for S/M

I see merit in the AZ system, 20% "bonus point" draw is basically preference point, than 80% is weighted random by your bonus points. Makes points worth it while still giving all people a chance. If anything that's what states should be going towards, if they want to keep points people happy.

Points aren't going anywhere, in any state that has them. Way too much revenue.

And this is why we can’t have nice things.

They should at a minimum just make the seasons congruent state wide so that units don’t get hammered harder than they should be by being open later. Choose your weapon etc.

Populations of residents are skyrocketing and there are not nearly enough draw options, it’s a recipe for a crash.

Agreed, they won't be going anywhere.

Same and every tag I apply for has a minimum of 20% odds
