I am amazed at looking at the leftover general season tags today for deer and elk at how many unclaimed tags there were for the first draw. There were some quality hunts that went unclaimed after having to purchase your non resident hunting license just to apply. Hoping to get a deer tag the second go around.
 
I would've expected some unclaimed tags but not as many as there is. Little surprising actually.
 
Yes 1150 elk and 1909 deer tags. I have talked to no less than 8-10 guys that drew and did not buy. They all said it was not the first choice, and their friends did not draw. One guy asked me, where is the Frank Church. I'm taking it, as guys don't want to go solo.

We will be applying along with 48k others for the tags.
 
I'm convinced a lot of people just apply because it's popular and don't buy or worse, do buy and never hunt. There is 30%+ of the tags for the deer unit I didn't draw on the list.
