[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1478221, member: 13110"] The green field hunts are over the counter but you have to hunt within a mile of a green field. Many of the ranchers with problems will let people hunt if you ask them and the game wardens know who those ranchers are typically. Also put in for the extra elk tags. It's one more chance to kill a elk. I drew a extra tag this year plus I have a regular bull tag and a non-resident tag. That is 3 elk tags and I expect to fill all 3. I've killed 2 to 3 elk a year for probably the last 10 years but I also have to bone out most of them and pack them up hill because I go where the elk are not where I want them to be. That means no roads and down hill in many spots. The cost to hunt locally isn't really a concern to me. Sure it cost money but it's what I like to do and it's my biggest hobby. I spent 416.75 on a non-resident tag because it's cheaper then going out of state to hunt elk and I know ID a lot better than anywhere else out of state. I will probably buy a non-resident deer tag too since I drew a late deer tag for November. I saw a big whitetail elk hunting last year and didn't have a tag so I won't let that happen this year. That is about 725.00 for both non-resident tags and 125.00 for my resident Sportsmans pack. That amounts too about 70.00/month if you pro-rate it over a year. Sure there is a several hundred in fuel there too which would make it 100.00 or less per month. It should be relatively easy for someone motivated enough to save that. If not get a second job.
