Hmmm, not sure a 'true Idahoan' would ever live in Utah...LOL, j/k j/k.
Not to start a huge debate, but I think the reason so many ppl have the attitude towards ppl from Utah is the sheer number of them that come into Idaho to hunt and fish. My family is from Bear Lake, and there are times when going hunting or fishing, we saw more Utah plates than Idaho. So it is kind of like showing up to your favorite fishing hole to find it has been discovered by a bunch of other ppl.
That being said, we used to make numerous runs up to Montana to fish Hebgen, Clark Canyon, the Beaverhead, and Red Rock. No difference at all. I think it just boils down to fear of losing one's natural resources, and human nature. Having lived in a number of states now, and being back in Idaho, I find myself much less concerned (if at all) about out of state plates. Can't say the same about my relatives [
]. The way I see it is get to know someone on a personal basis before you dislike them--it's much harder that way [
