    yes, it was the problem recognized near Kamiah a couple years ago which was probably EHD rather than CWD.

    Want to trade Elk gun tag for Elk archery tag Dworshak 10A Idaho

    I have gotten trail cam pics of black bears, wolves, and cougars in that unit but nothing like some of the #s you would get in the lesser accessible wilderness units. From the #s of elk I have seen there I can't really see any recent decline but I am sure the #s have declined considerably from...

    Thanks, I had no intentions of my post stirring up controversy but took offense to the implicationd that I was posting something that was possibly illegal.

    It may be possible if done before the season and that person meets IDFG requirements but to be certain I would call IDFG in Lewiston.

    After waiting online to purchase a NR archery tag on 12/1/22 for >6 hours IDFG advised the "A" tags were sold out but the "B" tags (usually sell out first) were available. The B tags allow a hunter to archery hunt during September for spikes & anterless elk as well as the gun season. In March of...

    Okay, sorry for my misread... I thought it was implying the post was to do something illegal.

    Not bold SaskHunter, this is not my first rodeo...I would not be stupid enough to post something on a public forum if it was illegal. It is not uncommon in Idaho but has to go through IDFG. I guess it would be illegal if you simply exchanged the tags without paying the transfer fee and not...

    If you don't know what you are talking about.... why say you are pretty sure it is illegal?

    I would not submit this post if it was not legal. I have a summer home in Idaho and have hunted this unit for the past 7 years. The exchange/transfer would be processed through IDFG. It is not uncommon in Idaho.

    The Elk numbers have not met F&G objectives for several years and CWD has hurt the deer population in the last 2 years. But there is less pressure from predators.

    I am 71 and have taken enough animals with guns in my earlier years. I am a flatlander and live in Louisiana 7 months a year and the other 5 months in Orofino ID. 10A (Dworshak) is not a wilderness area so there isn't a heavy predator pressure. In the past 7 years I have seen one wolf and a...

    Thank you, as long as everything is reported to IDFG at the time of the transfer. It serves a valid purpose but I don't doubt that there are many states out there that would not try to accomodate their hunters.

    What about exchanging a tag is stupid...this would be done with Idaho Fish & Game approval.

    Yes, it has to go through Fish & Game but that entails a nominal $3.75 exchange fee and updating the transfer information.
