"any part of idaho that isnt steep is a draw unit or its crawling with californians....and some of them are even starting to crawl into the steep stuff. found a couple at 8500 feet last year...they were so scared of the dark, they kept a bonfire burning all night long..."
I think that because non residents have more invested, they generally put more effort into the hunt, not all, but many do.
Old LipCurl would have a whole new respect for California if he strapped on a backpack and spent a week in one of our northern B zone units.
My brother in iaw was a smoke jumper out of Missoula Mt & fought fires throughout the northern Rockies for many years.
In his opinion the Trinity Alps of California were as rough, steep & nasty as anything he had ever tackled anywhere, it is designated wilderness and the only access is backpack or horseback.
It is one of my favorite places to hunt.
I have family in eastern Oregon.
Last time I hunted muleys there with my kid, we were amazed at all the road hunters, mostly local.
One guy had a rifle barrel sticking out the window as his buddy drove the roads, the license plate was from Alaska.
Great folks reside in every state and no place has a monopoly on azzholes.
Generalizations suck.
