Idaho Non-Res Tag Frenzy Tuesday- Who’s playing?

[Magnum_Willys]

Idaho - here we go, the good, the bad and the ugly. 

The Good - last year before the draw.
The bad - driving or getting a tag Mule to purchase in Idaho.
The Ugly - trying to get a tag online

Gave up online couple years ago.  Good Luck to those 60,000 brave soles trying.

Anyone trying?

Im trying to get

DAV Elk and Deer for my son
DAV ELK and Deer for his buddy
Deer for my buddy
Elk for my buddy

Buy 1 then to the back of the line and so on, We will see

Last year was successful at getting 2 buddies Elk tags


P.S. THIS IS STUPID

Not me. They ruined that state for me by doing this. Usually I am across country servicing machines and training when they go on sale and can’t be stuck at a computer.

Good Luck to all!!

First time trying, good luck out there!

Hopefully people do their research and just don't buy so they can say they got an Idaho tag...only to return it later on..

I know lots of people that made the drive...the lines are growing..
Hopefully this year goes smoothly but we'll see...
I hate this system...

We always just do the late whitetail.. but what I have always wondered and haven't figured out yet is what if I am #2:in line? What am I missing out on not getting for elk or others or is all the "quality " stuff controlled hunt applications?

I dont believe this is the last year before the draw. Pretty sure we'll be doing this again one last time next year...

House Bill 696 would create Section 36-419, Idaho Code, to say, "On and after November 15, 2026, any deer, elk, or pronghorn antelope tag or permit will not be available for sale on a first-come, first-served basis to a nonresident who is subject to a general hunt tag quota set pursuant to section 36-408, Idaho Code, unless that tag is unclaimed, returned, or otherwise unsold after being made available through at least one (1) drawing or otherwise set aside as a tag for outfitted hunter use pursuant to section 36-408, Idaho Code.

I get why people don't like it but personally I love it.  Current system ensures that every year I'm gonna have an ID tag in my pocket.  A draw.....not so much.  I've never bought in person either. Always online.

The site wouldn't open on my phone, seems to be fine on the computer.

I personally love it because i've managed to get my tags as well. For a solo hunter its not as bad, for a group looking to plan a hunt together, computer lottery is not the way to go...

Got a tag every year online. Opting out this year.

Are you getting #10,000 + and waiting 4 hours to get any remaining deer tag?
Or just incredibly lucky?   We try for average elk area and last time son was number 1800 (out of 30k+) and tags were still gone.  Five of us putting ing were number 10,000 plus on average.
