Idaho 2nd non Resident draw

[IdahoBeav]

My guess is some people that applied as a party are no longer buddies, because if one person failed to purchase the tag, all party members would have their tags returned. Wondering if anyone can confirm this as this is what game and fish said when I called.

Are you sure that this isn't what they said?

And apparently according to what I’m seeing on another forum, if you draw in the 1st draw and don’t claim your tag you are ineligible for the 2nd draw.

Q: If someone is successful in the first application period can they apply again in the second application period?A: No. Hunters who draw in the first application period are not eligible to apply in the second application period, even if they do not claim their tag

So no upgrading tags? Bummer.

No I made it crystal clear when I called, since the question was not answered anywhere in the new regs, the lady had to go check with someone before answering. I’m hoping someone could verify it because I had my doubts they were actually capable of implementing it. I would also trust some random WKR more so than the lady picking up the phone at ID/MT game and fish 60% of the time all the time.

Apparently you are too?

No I know the rules, but if in just a few experiences in the regional offices, I’ve had these advice is given to other people and myself imagine the bad advice they are giving out regularly

Unclaimed tags should just be awarded to the next people who were in line originally.

I don't believe there is a way to determine that.

Sure there is, every application is given a random number, wouldn’t be that hard to continue down the list

How so? Could we not just keep pulling “names/numbers” until every applicant has a “place in line”

Then revert back to that list?

Wouldn't work with the window to claim the tags. What would they do, keep having windows to claim forever???

Email goes out, you have 5 days to claim. Then onto the next.

This does not sound very complex to me

And the next and on to the next for 5 choices.

Yep, what % of tags were not claimed? Maybe 10% or less in each area?

I doubt this goes on for months

You guys just keep leaving them on the counter so we can pick them up later as a second!

Even if it does go on for months, it’s not like they don’t have eight of them before season opens

Do they do it with a seed number and sequential draw like Oregon does? Or do they just have the computer draw random numbers until the tags are all assigned?

Here's an idea, go back to the old system. All the tags sold in one day.

Lol, Use EXACTLY what is in place now that determines your place in line

Good thing they fixed it. It used to suck, drive to the store and buy the tag you wanted....done.

Every western state I'm aware of goes up from zero except oregon.
A simple database sort, usually by ID, then random numbers are assigned, then resorted. Computer looks at the lowest number and tries to fill, then on to the next. Like a deck of cards.
OR assigns the random number when you submit your app, and as noted, goes up from a public generated seed number, per species.
Utah calls successful apps that had their cards bounced and also goes back to next in line and fills returned tags.
