Applying in Idaho, Key things to know.
« on: April 02, 2015, 10:18:50 AM »
The Moose, Sheep and Goat application periods are open for Idaho. If you are Applying in Idaho this will give you a few pointers  The application period is open the complete month of April.

Applying in Idaho, Key things to know.

#1. If you apply for Moose or Sheep or Goat then you cannot apply for Deer, Elk or Antelope. And you can only apply for Moose or Sheep or Goat and not all 3.

#2. Applying online is what I like to do as paperwork and sending in a letter just takes more time.  But in Idaho it is worth it to do the paper application.  They charge  like 3% to do it online.  When the out of state fees for big game animals is more than $1000 this adds up.

#3. You need to get the forms from the Idaho website.

#4. Idaho changes hunt #'s from year to year  so make sure you enter the correct hunt #'s.

#5. You have to buy a non refundable hunting license to apply.

#6. a maximum of 10% of tags will be given to non residents.

#7. There is not a point system in Idaho so your odds are as good as any one elses every year.

Odds are really good compared to other states

Because you have to choose just one of Goat, Moose or Sheep and because the costs to apply in Idaho are high.  This makes the odds really good for these animals.

So to save money apply on paper but be careful to do it all correctly.

You can draw a great tag in Idaho.  But you must apply and not miss the deadlines.
Applying in Idaho can get you a tag of a lifetime.

Great idea for a thread.

Here are the two key web addresses for the controlled hunts (the actual hunts for moose, and the application information).

http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/docs/rules/mgsMooseInfo.pdf
http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/docs/rules/mgsCH.pdf

$2,116.50 might seem like a lot of money to pay for a moose, sheep or goat, but your odds of drawing as a non-resident in ID are much higher than your odds of drawing the same tag as a resident in WA.

Odds are not as good as they appear. Non res are allowed up to 10 percent of spieces and not per hunt choice. So idaho has approx. 47 goat tags that means only 4 non res can draw a goat tag.

actaully it is a limit of 10% of each hunt choice. Or 1 tag if less than 10 for that choice.
It is not a species total.

Bullblaster is correct, it is by hunt.  There are no species limits.
