Here is a the highlight.

Currently, the number of general hunt elk tags set-aside for allocation to outfitters to sell to their clients is 2,800 (A and B tags combined), which is 21.8% of the nonresident quota for general hunt elk tags. The number of general deer tags set-aside for allocation to outfitters for their clients is 1,985 (regular and white-tailed tags combined), which 12.8% of the nonresident quota for general hunt deer tags.

The Idaho Outfitters and Guides Association has petitioned the Fish and Game Commission to adopt a rule to set aside the statutory maximum of 25% of the nonresident general hunt elk tags and 25% of the nonresident general hunt deer tags as the new annual limits for allocation to outfitters to use for their clients.

I just voted no also. They can't even sell their current allotment, why would they even ask for more?

I voted no also. Many outfitters are also large landowners that already get spoon fed by the Idaho department of Farm&Game.

Good grief, I'll give em one thing. They're persistent in seeking state- sponsored welfare

This is why I voted no also. it’s bad enough we get hammered with NR but its worse when it’s some fat cat that is packed in on a horse when where you’re huntin.
