[QUOTE="BCMAG2, post: 2241533, member: 60396"] Not likely. The Fish and Game biologist/CO/tag salesman in CDA likely told you how to find other people’s honey holes that he gleaned from them at mandatory roadside game check stations. Then he gave that info away to every non-resident he talked to so they would buy a $450 elk tag (now $600) and fund his salary. (Idaho Fish and Game receives no general tax funds from the state.) So a very real part of their jobs is devoted to setting up booths at “Big Horn”, outdoor and related trade shows in Spokane, Seattle, etc., to promote their license and tag sales to non-residents. They were recorded by a local resident a few years ago hucking the game unit I live in from one such Spokane convention booth, saying “Just come hunt in Idaho’s Game Unit X…we are growing deer and elk there faster than we can shoot em!” Of course, none of that was actually true, but it sure was effective in flooding all my hunting areas with Washington hunters. But I don’t blame the hunters for that. The problem is Idaho’s money-addicted game department. [/QUOTE]
