Not sure if it’s been mentioned yet, but odds are up for the new NR draw. Pretty interesting numbers.

I am not exactly sure what to draw from that. Very interesting to see. I wonder if next year there will be a migration over to easier to draw tags? Or just people giving up once they see how bad the odds are for decent areas with non refundable tag? Which will boost tag odds?

Sad for those having to do this. Glad I am an ID resident and hope people quit moving here before we have to do this for residents!

Several of the archery hunts have worse odds than the rifle hunts. Makes me wonder if that many folks are dyed in the wool archery, afraid of weather, or just thought it would be easier to draw then all piled in?

Lemhi A was 7%. Wasn't that one of the tags that was usually still available at the end of the day during the December sales?

Most of the B tags have way higher numbers available, obviously better odds.

I think people applying for those tags are unaware of the regulations.

Only a couple elk tags drawn as second choice and none on third or after… that busted some application strategies haha
