Hell i live in Idaho and have been here my whole life 46 yrs
and i am going out of state for most of my hunting this year.
I was getting pretty tired of the direction things have been heading around here several years ago, so i started sniffing around in other states and liked what i seen..
so i am hoping for deer and elk tags in Montana, if not this year its a pretty sure bet next year,, Wyoming for antelope
been doing most of my bird hunting in south Dakota and Nevada, and will get an Oregon licence for birds and varmits this year..
went to Arizona for javelina last January and had a great time there, that's a hunt that i will be doing every year from here on out..and am now working on a moose & caribou hunt in Alaska..
its kind of heart breaking to leave the areas i have hunted all of my life,, but it looks like the party is all over here now..
the last straw was when Idaho made non res tags available to resident's... i will still mess around and donate some money for some draw hunts, but i doubt i will ever buy another sports mans package just a hunting and fishing licence from now on..
in a strange sort of way it has been kind of a blessing Idaho hunting has gone to hell, now i am getting out and seeing and hunting a bunch of new country that i would have never considered before..
