Idaho NR general tag going to draw?

[BRTreedogs]

Personally I think odds will be crap,
I didn’t participate in the rat race really.

I did have time this yr to give it a shot but normally I’m at work. And Idaho hunting isn’t good enough for me to make any big sacrifice for the tag.
But since I’ll be able to apply at my leisure why wouldn’t I?

For everyone who now applies

30 extra people are removed from the “waiting” room through single people using 30 browsers

Therefore, odds still up. Now 1 person=1 attempt

I still rather the old system IF they’d have made you log on FIRST, and eliminated the in person bundle buying.

Personally I think everyone that was getting tags before, trying to get tags.
And more will apply.

I know a ton of people that never bothered with the rat race.
$200 isn’t a big barrier to entry.

Look how many people buy Wyoming points at a few hundred per year.

It will still be cheaper than Nov, Utah etc to apply.
I bet applications triple.

Then the people wanting participation pref points

 

[BRTreedogs]

Is it supposed to be a separate draw?

They need to do it all at once.

You need to consider all the people before getting MULTIPLE places in line!!

For instance, last year I got on 7 different computers at work and my phone to up my odds, and that’s low compared to what some do.

There’s no way in hell that many more people will now apply to offset that crap that was happening

Ok
I understand what people were doing. Yes they may have had multiple places in line, online, but they were just using the lowest number given to get 1 tag.

What I’m saying is sure, 75k people may have had multiple places in line but it was still 75k for how even many tags.
And I think more like 150 people will be applying for tags.
In a way I can kind of see how you are saying your individual chances may increase because there’s not 75k with multiple browsers open.
But I still think in the end there will be more individual people applying for the same tag.

For instance me.
I never even bothered in 21/22/23 but now that I can apply for a draw I’ll do it every year.

They only used up one tag, but they pushed that many more people so deep into the red they’d just log off and it would crash computers

Combined with giant bundle buys in person, stopping that alone will make a big difference to odds. Also stores buying tags for people not there

And I think all the tags that were bought in store, all those people are going to apply.

$200 is more expensive than NV, UT and almost every other state.

 

[IdahoBeav]

It will still be cheaper than Utah to apply.

Not if you stretch the UT license over 2 years of applications.

A UT NR hunting license is only $144.

Controlled draw odds will decrease as a lot of people will have the hunting license already purchased.

They will hit now the treatment is equal for all.

Again, I don’t think this system is the best, but it sure as hell beats that circus jerk. This is coming from someone who got a premium tag last year

Are the general and controlled hunts two separate draws?

Never mind, podcast says separate draws

I’m not saying I don’t like this more.
I’m saying that I don’t think the odds of getting an elk tag are going to increase.

How did you go about finding that out?

The outfitters have until July 31st to sell all their tags, anything not sold goes up for grabs as a second tag for residents or a first tag for NR when the tags are up for sale on like Aug 5th or whenever. It's in the regs. That's why there's so many tags available in Aug, along with returned general season tags from controlled hunts being drawn. Outfitters keep asking for more tags when they aren't selling what they're being allotted already.

Will be interesting to see how many people are willing to put the 200.00 in for a chance to draw.

You mean like Nevada, Utah, etc? Idaho will hardly be the only state requiring a license to put in for a tag. They aren't requiring an additional application fee either, and those other states do.
