This is some seriously unbelievable politics but at least we don't have to listen to any more outfitters tell us how much they care about the resource. They just proved that the only thing they care about is $$.
Oh I almost forgot this was going to help resident hunters too. Certainly more...
There seems to be a consistent theme on this thread with supporters of this bill. It seems to involve trying to distract the conversation to some other issue that will in no way be addressed by this tag grab. "The public land is mismanaged" this bill does nothing to fix that. "The real...
Uses a internet screen name to call someone a chicken impressive tactic.
Im shocked how many of you supports of this bill can't comprehend math but I guess that video kinda clears that up for us. Your asking for a 60% setaside, while claiming somewhere between 40% and 50% already go...
Lets be honest you didn't do this because their wasn't hunters to book these trips not because of some high and might concern for the resource. The reason tags went under sold in Montana is supply and demand. The price of tags was high, folks didn't have a lot of expendable income, and they...
I'm a little late to the party, and most of my thoughts have been well hashed out previously but I still want to get my two cents in on a issue that is important to me. My biggest frustration with this situation and consequently this thread is that there are outfitters and their supporters on...
I'm a huge fan of gohunt and doing your own research but with that many points I would highly recommend an epic outdoors membership. $100 buys you a lot of info and those guys are pretty dialed on top end units and could point you in the right direction.
I hunted a unit that borders 66 a couple years ago. We saw plenty of bucks including some good ones across the boundary in 66 and this was a few weeks into the season well after the one shot contest. There's a ton of public in that unit so shouldn't be an issue to find goats. If nothing has...
I get your point that all states will suffer I am just pointing out that Idaho will not be insulated from this as the perceived "cheapest" elk tag. With the price increase proposed its going to be right there with the other popular western states for elk.
You must not remember when Idaho was offering discounted second tags to anyone that would buy one and not able to sell them all. This wasn't that many years ago either. It was same time Montana couldnt sell all their combos and a guy could simply drive to wyoming and buy leftover antelope tags...
There were lots of statments that Bishop made that were crazy and you needed no prior knowledge to know they were crazy. I do understand what your saying overall but I don't think any of the dialog would of occurred had Rinnella jumped him. I think Steve let him express his points and lots of...
