Let’s compare Idaho vs Montana as I see it:
Tag location
Idaho
Very limited
Often not even an entire county
Montana
Most the dad gum state
Time to hunt
Idaho
If an A tag
30 days archery
No bull rifle
Maybe a cow/ spike hunt with restrictions
Montana
6 weeks archery
6 weeks rifle
No spikes
Idaho meows about bull to cow ratio
Sells OTC spike tags (somehow spikes ain’t bulls)
Idaho allows depredations only to the people who have enough cattle grazing elk country for nearly free,
Montana states if you need depredation relief you need to allow public hunting.
Montana also allows shoulder seasons to public.
One state pro active hunting
One protective agricultural
IMO
