Changes Coming To Idaho's Tag System

[JimP]

It was bound to happen, non residents will have to start putting in for a draw for some tags in Idaho.

Colorado is looking at a non resident draw for all elk tags, but for now that is just a rumor.

For now that is just for the northwest corner of Colorado that got hit hard last winter.

The speculation is that tag draws for NR elk will be state wide.

Looks like they will have to apply for every tag. No more otc tags to non-residents, for deer, elk, and antelope.

Colorado cut the number of all tags (deer, elk and antelope) in the NW section of the state because of severe winter and resulting winterkill. It is in effect for 2 years. There is lots of information in the new big game brochure I received in the mail yesterday.(also available online) I recommend Colorado hunters read it.

The draw for something like this was inevitable with the interest in Western hunting.
