    Idaho MSG Applications - Who's In

    You didn't ask for this, I'm just using your example to show how random odds work over time. It is often easier to think that with 15% odds you should draw after 100/15 or 6.7 years. But it isn't that simple because it is random and the odds can never be 100%. The odds of being drawn at least...

    Antler Point Restrictions

    Here is a study done interestingly enough by Wyoming. I've posted it before on several forums when this topic comes up. It is not a new idea. It has been tried in various configurations and locations. It is a quick read, the bulk of the report is just 7.5 pages and then a couple pages of table...

    Antler Point Restrictions

    APRS for mule deer don't work. They temporarily, and in my opinion artificially, raise buck doe ratios simply because at first fewer bucks get killed. APR has been studied pretty heavily and the long term effect is negative. It may seem counterintuitive but APR forces all hunters to focus all...

    WY preference point increase

    Should state agencies be operating like a business in that way though? What they're selling isn't a product, it's a public resource that they are stewarding. I tend to think that licenses and other fees should be set according to what it costs to manage the resource not what they can get out...

    Seriously - Thank You rich boys for this new Idaho law.

    The bolded sentence is incorrect, AI steered you wrong on that one. Lifetime license holders do get their tags from the resident pool, they just have to pay the NR price. Lifetime license holders are also treated as residents in the controlled hunt drawings. The Q/A below is from this...

    Seriously - Thank You rich boys for this new Idaho law.

    They should have made it 10 years. This was getting very abused. One Elk Shaped youtube "celebrity" recently moved to Idaho, stayed a year, bought a lifetime license and then moved back to Washington. I know of more than a few contractors who moved in for a year or two, bought the lifetime...

    Fair enough. Not all mormons are from the Utah/Southern Idaho stronghold. I've got battle scars of my own being a minority in my hometown and places of work.

    I have a tongue-in-cheek question, bringing this back to mingling substance use with firearms. Harkening back to your comment about a drink after work makes you better able to deal with kids or other annoyances. Would you prescribe a beer before the hunt as method to relax and be better able...

    I think my mistake in that post was bringing morality into it instead of keeping the discussion directly tied to substance use. But, you can call the shots how you see it, I'll do the same. We don't have to agree, but a poster making implications that only "mormons" could possibly object to...

    Am I supposed to look up to those guys and model my life after their lyrics? Singing with a twang doesn't make immorality or substance abuse any more wholesome than singing about it in heavy metal or rap, nor does it make someone worthy of admiration. You're right though, sadly this isn't a...

    Red Herring as it relates to this discussion. Does caffeine result in cognitive impairment and memory deficits? Addiction to any substance should be viewed negatively. Whether it is hard drugs, alcohol, caffeine, sugar, or anything else. All can be unhealthy but if we are talking about how...

    I debate this with my wife and with myself all the time. My opinion and what I think should be done often conflicts with my belief in agency and everyone having their own autonomy. I don't like innocent people to be punished because others make bad choices. As a society we do have to draw the...

    I wasn't the person you directed the comment to, it just touched a nerve. I appreciate your response. I am against both for myself. I have zero interest in partaking of either or any other drug. I value my long term health too much to risk the effects of substance usage. Hell, sugar is just...

    Bigot? I mean, since it seems to make a difference to you. I'm just trying to establish your background for this conversation.

    Real experiences and pleasure versus artificial and fabricated. I'll admit, there may be something to your point. I just looked up which spices and foods can have psychoactive effects and it's real. However, I'm not sure I am ready to lump nutmeg in with marijuana; or ice cream with alcohol.

    I'll be a stick in the mud. Funny that many defend cannabis by throwing alcohol under the bus. Maybe we should legalize cannabis and outlaw alcohol. From a purely statistical harm perspective it makes sense. Alcohol-related injuries and deaths exceeds 178,000 people per year. From an...

    Idaho SB 1300 - Making agency director political appointments

    Allowing the commission to select the Director puts one degree of separation between the Governor and the Director even though the Director falls under the umbrella of the executive branch. This way the Director can act without direct interference or pressure from the Governor, making the...

    New bill about blinds near troughs

    Success rates, ethics, etc have nothing to do with why this bill was introduced. Ranchers hate hunters and are trying to remove us from their operating areas. I'm sure it isn't completely unwarranted. Slob hunters leave gates improperly open or closed(leave open if open, leave closed if...

    WOW Idaho rivers Rafting Draw!

    The outfitter allocations are way too high. They get 44% of the permits on the MF, and over 50% on the Main.
