got my elk tag and license.
who wants to take bets on when Idaho goes to lottery only for non res?
unfortunately it seems like the only way to reliably get non res tags is to have a buddy in the state buy them in person, and now even thats becoming a s show.
buddy who bought mine said someone in line bought 10 licenses, 10 elk tags, 8 deer tags, and a dozen wolf.

There should be a limit on tags purchased at once... that's insane.
I'm betting one more year of this zoo then draw only

We had better luck than normal this year. 4 elk tags and 5 deer tags between the 6 of us. Everybody got at least one but we're not hunting a real high demand unit

We were number 7 in line. Computer issues for 15 minutes before they finally got up and running. I was on my phone with number 340. My number came up when we were next in line, logged in and all the tags we wanted were gone. Walked out, driving 6 hours home empty handed.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

I got my deer tag for unit 5. No one else did so I’m debating on either going alone or just turning it back in.

The store I was at this morning, rules were you could buy for 2 guys then you get in back of line. I got it line 3 times but bought in order of how fast they sell out.

I got in and after much hoopla landed a Big Desert A tag, I had done a bunch of online research looking at the past few years and it was very high on my list of if I had the chance, based on harvest % and big bull %. No idea if it’s actually as good as the numbers show- I normally hunt north of there.

Were the lines in Victor long? I'm wondering what part of ID has the shortest lines. Can't imagine the WY crowd crossing over to hunt ID, but maybe I'm wrong?!

Shawn,

I got there at 7:30 and was 2nd in line, they opened the doors at 9:45. Got 3 Elk tags and 3 Deer tags for 4 guys in about 35 minutes. Probably about 10 or 11 people total so not bad considering some of the BS everyone went through this morning. Guys from Tennesee and Maryland today
The mountains are calling and I must go
