ID NR general draw odds posted

I exported the pdf to excel because I was curious how many people actually applied for Elk tags, because back when it was first come first serve, you'd see these figures of 60,000 plus people in the "que." These numbers go to show how many duplicate logins were going on lol.

A Tag Applicants = 13,997
B Tag Applicants = 13,807
Total Elk General Applicants = 27,804

Not necessarily. Before you didn't have to front the NR license cost to apply. It does point to a higher likelihood that people were using multiple devices though.

That's Lolo. Of note, there were 187 outfitter allocated tags and only 55 NR tags in that unit. One of several units like this. Not sure how IDFG allow such a skew when it's supposed to be 10% allocation.

The 10% cut-off only applies to controlled hunts. The allocation for general tags varies depending on the zone.

I'm an ID resident and had a few outta state buddies apply for general elk/deer season. The controlled tags they recently applied have nearly 2x better draw odds than the "otc" tags we've been doing the last handful of years haha.

I'm wondering how many seasons it'll take for the general draw odds to "stabilize"

Watch those controlled hunt draw odds plummet this year with all the new NR license holders from the OTC draw.

This entire thing is sad. Too many hunters. To think I could go to CA and kill more deer (2 OTC tags every year) than ID from here on out. The days of picking up second tags are likely gone.

The days of picking up a single tag routinely are gone

This is a good thing, people used to treat Idaho like a dumpster they'd pick scraps out of if all their other draws didn't work out.

Can’t wait for the higher entrance fee bring it on

Doesn’t solve anything. I just signed up for a $1245 antelope tag

People wanted a change, they got it. Now keep increasing the license fee to enter
