IDFG Tag Sales

[griff536]

IDFG really let down the Idaho customers with their terrible online interface. I am still ~3,300 customer and I have waiting in line for 90 minutes while most of the tags have sold out. We deserve better than this.

this system of putting people in a waiting room and then handing out your place in line through a random number generator is lame. I miss the days of truly first come first serve, on the limited tags. but no, they have to make it "fair". I don't get what's fair about showing up early and then getting a spot in the back of the line.

So, same problems as NR but 7 months later?

Is it that time of year again?
This year, I'm just going in person for the tags

FFS, just add them to the controlled draw and stop pretending this is over the counter

I went to a small business this morning, not to a F&G reginal office and had my elk tag seven minutes after they went on sale.

Idaho F&G needs to come up with a better way for non-resident tags being sold!

I would imagine it might improve draw odds across the board. I’d be really curious what a would happen if the general non res tags would go that route especially if it was all at one time

This is exactly my thoughts. They are trying to do the same thing with the sawtooth waiting period. Just a cluster.

Potentially 2400 people that wouldn’t be applying for a different elk hunt or moose/sheep/goat

I'm a NR and would love for IDFG to go to an all draw system. Non refundable, non returnable if you draw.

Any chose 1 of the 6 to apply for.

Any chose 1 of the 6 to apply for.

And the exact same rules for every single NR in every single state

One of our office admins was trying to buy her son a fishing license this morning and got stuck in the queue for Sawtooth tags. She was very confused! Spot 1,400 so I told her to buy a Sawtooth tag.

 

[westbranch]

Update: her husband did not want a Sawtooth tag. She asked I wanted to try logging in on her computer but I had applied for a controlled, damn the luck. Plus my walking will still be rough in Oct.

 

[BackofBeyond]

Good news is, I just do not think the Sawtooth tag is really worth the rub.

Know lots of guys that camp out to get one, then eat it just the same.

Is there anyone out there that wants to trade their rifle sawtooth elk tag for my archery sawtooth elk tag?

How about you wait to turn it back in until like August 2nd, then I can buy it on 8/3, and I'll venmo you $20?

Deal?

Yeah that sounds great. Meet me at the Pacific Ocean east of mountain home and we can swap.
