2026 Idaho Controlled Hunts

[TacoTaylor]

Kicking off our annual Idaho controlled draw thread where we all wait impatiently wait for results to release and get in a waiting queue just to be disappointed that we didn't draw again.

Hopefully it's as early as last year

Hoping the same. How long did moose, sheep, and goat take this year?

Results came out the 11th

Every NR that applied for the general tags, we need to be sure to remind them all that there is another controlled hunt opportunity with the license they already bought.

When did last years come out? My bro in law is saying July but that seems like forever.

June 12th last year.

Yeah it was faster than the moose, sheep, goat draw last year if I recall and was like 7-9 days

Its going to be the same for me like it is every year, but I put in for a southern Idaho elk tag thats like 5% odds, what gets me is I know one guy that's drawn that tag 3 times in the last 9 years and another guy who's drawn it 2x in 5 years. I have never drawn it in 11 years of applying.....

I feel your pain. I'm on 10 years of draws with only one extra doe tag and a cow tag drawn. Meanwhile friends in that same period have drawn sheep, goat, bull, and buck tags!

But there's always a chance!

Still wouldn’t have it any other way. Always a chance and every year is an opportunity to change your application to fit your schedule or try something new.

i don't think we need to remind them

I don't have high hopes for my tags this year I'm just hoping my kids draw the long cow elk season I put them in for

 

[Customweld]

I just applied for my first time ever, trying not to get my hopes up.
