so I hear a lot of arguments on hunting public land and I can understand both sides of the argument local guys have been hunting certain areas "forever" and out of state guys "steal" hunting areas. and then you have points in all the states, and point creep. and in Idaho you have the "everybody" has a chance to draw.
I have been thinking about the draws in Idaho lately and there are people that want to change it to you have to decide what weapon you want to use, rifle or muzzleloader or bow. and I think that each state kind of has its own benefits. I like in Idaho that I can hunt with a bow and if I do not have time to hunt that much, or I just didn't find the one. that I can still hunt with my rifle. I think Idaho's down fall is being able to buy two deer tags or two elk tags. I get that they were already put aside and they are just leftover tags. but it seems like a money game.
so I was just thinking what if you had to choose ONE state to hunt in per animal, say you draw a deer tag in Wyoming you would not be able to hunt Idaho, and Utah, and Montana. I mean its all public ground right. why do we need to kill more than one a year. and to those that do hunt in multiple states do you use the meat? is it given away? what are the pros and cons of hunting more than one state? besides that you get to kill more. I would like to hear both sides of this.
