unit 29 idaho
I got few responses (1) 😂but will provide update. I know a lot of people are worried about blowing up units or hunts. You probably cant do that to 29. The number of elk we found was good. We went down 3 days early in hopes of figuring out the country and locate a few elk. We found a good... -

unit 29 idaho
My son and I drew the rifle elk tag for 29 in the second draw for Idaho. We are long time Idaho residents and I had this tag 20 years ago. I went down labor day and realized I had not hunted or seen probably 98 percent of the unit last time I hunted. I hunted the west side last time and this... -

HB145 - Increase NR license fees
Most of the residents I know😂. I feel like thats a pretty scientific sample size. Also , at least in Idaho, residents were in a race to buy non resident tags at non resident prices for second tags. So they obviously are not scared of high prices to hunt their home state. -

HB145 - Increase NR license fees
As far as the tag increase goes I would say its just capitalism. They should raise prices until tags quit selling out completely. I blame the social media influencers and outfits like huntn fool 😂. They over publicized western hunting and built business models on getting every hunter in the... -

HB145 - Increase NR license fees
thats around when Idaho started selling nr tags to residents at the out of state price. There were lots of leftover unsold nr tags. It was pretty nice as I bought second elk and deer tags as a resident well into season. I am not sure it was great game management but I took advantage of it a few... -

HB 196 Overriding IDFG Managment
I am AGAINST politicians making any wildlife management decisions. The legislature is setting a dangerous precedent wading into game management. I do agree totally with limiting mule deer doe harvest. Fish and game needs to be the one making the decision not politicians -

Long term hunt planning
I dont really believe in the shotgun approach of applying in as many states as possible. I understand that some people like the new country and adventures that applying everywhere brings. If you want more consistent success I firmly believe you will have more success and sooner sticking to...- Trap
