Drew a nice bull rifle tag, but kinda bummed my daughter struck out on cow… looks like we’ll have to scoop her up an OTC cow tag

Go that way. ---->I drew a great muley tag, now can someone point me on where to go?!
So this was my first time applying to Idaho, as I’m a Montana resident but had a friend move there last year. If the hunt choice says selected does that mean I drew the tag? If so I drew an elk and mule deer tag.Very frustrating draw process for me. I put in for tags that are 20%+ draw odds every year for deer, elk, and antelope. Drawn 2 tags in 16 years, both with 60% odds at the time of drawing. Pretty crazy odds of being unsuccessful all the time

That's what it means! An elk and deer for a NR? Best go buy a lottery ticket!So this was my first time applying to Idaho, as I’m a Montana resident but had a friend move there last year. If the hunt choice says selected does that mean I drew the tag? If so I drew an elk and mule deer tag.
Man, I hope not!Sorry, bad winter killed them all
Can I have your MT tag then?So this was my first time applying to Idaho, as I’m a Montana resident but had a friend move there last year. If the hunt choice says selected does that mean I drew the tag? If so I drew an elk and mule deer tag.
Yeah selected means you drew. Im putting in with you in 2 years when you're qualified to again.So this was my first time applying to Idaho, as I’m a Montana resident but had a friend move there last year.

At least we always have a chance and arnt chasing point creep. I really do prefer Idahos draw system over the rest. Just wish they would post results on a given day closer to when due.Very frustrating draw process for me. I put in for tags that are 20%+ draw odds every year for deer, elk, and antelope.

I understand not wanting points and point creep. Selfishly, I wish Idaho did have points. I would have better odds of drawing premier tags in my home state at some point in my lifetime. Sure, everybody has equal odds in the system now. But why should a stone mason I know have drawn a mtn goat tag, moose tag, 45 elk, 45 deer, 40 deer, 43 elk x2 in the amount of time ive drawn a doe antelope and cow elk tag? Luck of the draw, sure, but I feel shafted every year when i have an over 50% chance of drawing 1 of the tags i put in for but seemingly never do.At least we always have a chance and arnt chasing point creep.

As someone that moved from Idaho to Utah, you do not want points.I understand not wanting points and point creep. Selfishly, I wish Idaho did have points.

Trust me I get it too. I’m 13 years without a deer or elk limited entry in Idaho. I’m also behind the curve for tags in Utah, AZ, and WY and may never see those tags. A bonus point system in Idaho where it’s still a random draw but your entry’s square each year would be great I think with how Idaho limits the number of things you can apply for. WA does that but it’s a mess because you can enter for a billion things and don’t have to chose.I understand not wanting points and point creep. Selfishly, I wish Idaho did have points.

Have you ever done the math on this and figured how many years it would take to draw if those premier units were on a point system? I'd bet you have 10+ years to go until you have a reasonable reason to complain....I understand not wanting points and point creep. Selfishly, I wish Idaho did have points.

same here!I drew unlimited archery antelope and feel like it is a win, it’s always questionable whether I’ll draw that or not

Done the math? Not exactly, but I have an idea of it. I will continue to hunt units in other states i put in for with points that are as quality if not higher quality than the hunts I put in for as my controlled hunts in Idaho. I just have poor luck in draws with IDFG and am frustrated with it. I will continue to enjoy my otc tags that were fortunate enough to have and have a blast anywayHave you ever done the math on this and figured how many years it would take to draw if those premier units were on a point system?
