Idaho is a great state with many hunting opportunities, I had a thought on how to maybe make it even better. What I am proposing is to auction off one tag per unit. Example unit 32 controlled buck hunt offers 40 permits on the controlled draw. Raise that to 41 but make that 1 extra tag be purchased by the highest bidder in state or out of state. This could be done through out the state?s controlled hunts on deer , elk, pronghorn, or even bear as long as the one extra permit would not jeopardize the health or sustainability of the herds . If something like this could even be implemented, I would like to see the extra funds generated from that auctioned tag be used to directly improve that particular big game management unit, not the money from unit 32a going to benefit unit 45 or vice versa. Either by purchasing and planting more sagebrush in the unit, further more extensive studies on the units animals, or even supplying ranchers with feed to help some of the game through the winter. This is just an idea that I had, and I have no idea if anyone else would support this. Thank You for your time
