Just wondering if this has happened to anybody on here in the past that can explain. I'll be calling fish and game in the morning to find out their answer but I can't imagine there is going to be much of an answer. Friend of mine put in for an elk tag (I told him I would take him out on his...

"So it shouldn’t cost $200 to apply right?" You do still have to pay for the tag upfront when you apply, so the cost to apply is close to $200 ($183-ish). You just get the tag fee back if you don't draw. It is not just the $16.75 plus 3% to apply...

Thanks for all the compliments. Hunter0527, I packed everything out pretty much whole (at least from the front shoulders up) and then yes, skinned to the knees prior to taking it to the taxidermist. I usually try and have animals mounted as similar to how I saw them in the wild prior to...

Thought I would share last years buck. Just got it back from the taxidermist and had a 1/2 mount done. Turned out decent I thought. Harvested in Idaho, general season, public land.

I don't think that choosing what unit you want to go hunt is being selfish. Everybody can choose the unit they want to hunt and everybody can choose to hunt the same unit you do. The selfish part is when somebody thinks they deserve a tag more often than what they should statistically draw it...

Buckhunter1, New hunters would have no line to get into. They would have no chance at those tags so they would be standing in line for something that doesn't exist for them once a point system is in place. Look at the numbers/facts. I am not saying YOU specifically are selfish, I use the term...

first thing first, as I mentioned, please don't take this as an attack on you (NiceRack) at all. Like I mentioned in the above post, I only used your example of unit 37-1 because you mentioned it and the numbers were already out there. I could have used any of the antelope hunts as examples...

These numbers might be off a little, just because after the 10% of tags are allotted to non-resident hunters the rest of the non-resident applicants are not considered, but taking the numbers for what they are it should be fairly close. I am not pointing the finger here at any specific person...

I like it. It makes you commit and choose. Those that truly want to hunt the Sawtooth tag will have a better chance at getting a tag, it may take enough people that commit to the sawtooth tag out of the controlled hunt draws increasing those odds, etc. It will hurt people like myself that put in...

I ended up shooting a smaller 3x4 on my last day to hunt. I didn't see any really good bucks last year. Probably not the best year to have that tag being one year after the big winter... Been up a couple times this year with friends with that tag, hunted the same way in the same areas and have...

+2 I hunted it last year and I have been a couple times this year with friends. The deer are rutting pretty good right now. I think better than toward the end of the season (at least last year...).

I spent the day up there today calling and hoping to get some videoing in. Covered a decent amount of ground, three good sized canyons overall at approx. 6500-7000'. I bugled in an attempt to locate bulls starting at 6:30 this morning up until about 10:30 and never got a single bugle back. Saw...

Smith & Wesson 629PD in .44 mag (or your choice of caliber I guess...). Titanium, lightweight, not one you go shoot for fun at the range but great to pack being lightweight spotnstalkID

No points!! I play the points game in multiple other states but I like it how it is here in my home state. Completely random. I get the financial side of it that F&G also has to take into consideration and with that said, if they went to a points system for Non-Residents I would be OK with that...
