ID NR Elk Poll

[Steve O]

Unfortunately your odds will be a lot less now. With the requirement to buy a license to apply for deer and elk a lot of new controlled applicants for sheep, moose, etc. will happen since people already have a license.

Yeah people are in denial with NR odds for sheep in Idaho…the application services report out they are the best there are for NR. That’s true for the one or two units that may draw a NR tag…the other 20 units are infinitely bad. I’ve been doing this for over a quarter century and I’m well aware of how the odds work everywhere there are sheep tags offered and take my chances in most of them. If a non resident is putting in for a sheep tag today with confidence of being drawn (now that Wyoming has just about completed their hose job of us) unless they are one of a handful in AZ with max points, they are a special kind of stupid. My sheep tags in Colorado and Arizona have come with nowhere near max points and only with help from above. I don’t see another Canadian sheep hunt in my future so another draw is all I’ve got and have no delusions of beating any system or worrying about my odds going from .0003 to .0001

Compared to how shitty they are in other states, their actually pretty decent (by sheep standards) but are hugely expensive to apply for.
