Yes, the SE tag was dropped. It doesn't make sense to limit the SE tag numbers when the tags are not selling out like they use to. There is still a nonresident quota for tags statewide.
Don't call the "regs", "proc" unless you want to sound like you are from Utah
Unless the person is a transplant, I haven't heard any from Idaho say "proc" or "proclamation".
I thought the below part of the news release was a stretch.
"The commission increased the regular deer quota to 14,000, and added 1,500 white-tailed deer tags. The changes restore the number of nonresident deer tags to the 1996 level of 15,500. The nonresident deer quota was trimmed after winter losses in the 1990s hit deer numbers in several areas of Idaho. Herds in many areas of the state have come back."
Are the F&G claiming there are as many mule deer in Southern Idaho as there were before the 92/93 winter? Or does the F&G just want the $$$ the extra thousand regular tags and 1,500 whitetail tags will give them?
