[QUOTE="Dirtrax, post: 2493522, member: 78945"] To expand on your point - In order to address the concerns of Idaho citizens IDFG and UI held meetings and sent numerous questionnaires over a period of years to folks with hunting and fishing licenses. That resulted in an undeniable realization that our greatest concern was the degradation of the hunting experience and in some cases opportunities. In response NR fees were raised considerably. Limits for NR tags in most draw areas were also instituted. A couple points: 1) Idaho has no points system so citizens had to compete directly with NR sportsmen for draw tags in their own back yard. 2) Anyone can move here anytime they like. If they value the outdoor opportunities more than the much higher income they likely enjoy where they currently reside it’s an option. 3) Keeping NR hunters at reasonable numbers IS the point, take your dollars elsewhere if you are inclined. I’d bet if you lived here you would better understand this position. I’m not wholly unsympathetic to those that want to experience other opportunities. I do as well. I do get peeved by folks that can buy away my hunting opportunities though. As with all other States it’s not just a place, it’s someone’s home and heritage. [/QUOTE]
