Long live freedom, capitalism, and one's right to do as they choose!

I personally don't contribute to over-crowding...I'd never hunt an OTC tag in Idaho, but I have seen what it looks like! Perhaps part of the problem is as you say, your "entitlement" mentality? Hunting big game isn't an entitlement, its a privilege! If the game belongs to the state...

I don't hunt your precious OTC tags, never have...never will! Total waste of time! Regardless of your "feelings", the state's population has grown substantially...and that's likely to continue, thus capping the tags and moving to a draw system is inevitable. Nobody specifically is to...

How communist of you...and to think I / others dare to move to Idaho (free state / country) without the permission of KING IDbulls!? ? ?

I didn't demand anything...nor has any of it affected me, I hunt limited / controlled hunts every year with no pressure and no crowding! People moving to "your" Idaho isn't gonna change because you throw a little hissy fit on MM. The real problem is residents like you who think you're...

I honestly can't believe anyone would be surprised that a govt agency managed to have such an epic screw up? One look at how poorly IDFG has managed their deer herds should tell you all you need to know about epic govt failure!

I moved to Idaho in 2018...the biggest problem I've seen is massive resident pressure! Nothing will change in Idaho until resident tags are drastically reduced and put on draw...IMO.

I'm pretty sure everybody "pays to play"...I can't recall anyone ever claiming they went hunting for "free". Licenses, gear, vehicles, travel, food, lodging, taxidermy, time off work, etc...I'm pretty sure all of that costs money whether one hunts public / private, or guided / unguided...

Well heck ya I'm going to use the resource...I pay for it too, just like you! That doesn't mean overall the wildlife don't succeed far better on land managed / protected by the private sector, than those on the public, IMO. I don't mean to insinuate public land should be made private...my...

Both were on public land...neither were gov tags, and everyone has the same chance to get em as I did. Yes, personally I'd love to see every bit of wildlife management in private hands...but we both know that'll never happen, so really its a moot point! But if govt was doing such a great...

I guess its all relative to how much time one spends making money, versus talking about it on the internet?!

Ummm...ok!(y)

With any luck for the wildlife, every acre of private land in the state will be under CWMU someday...the private sector can manage as much wildlife as possible, and maybe the critters will survive! I wouldn't let the govt manage my kid's lemonade stand...but where capitalism prospers, everyone...

Well...that really is the bottom line! Its hard to fault folks for "filling" a tag they've acquired, but its hard to help the problem when everyone's doing it too. Besides...I'll never understand how guys think venison is better than beef? ?
