Idaho General Season Going to Draw for Nonresidents
CarbonHunter:
I figured it would go this way and it gives people who want to hunt Idaho a good shot at a guaranteed draw if you choose the panhandle.
I hope they change the deer tags from individual units to at least align with the elk zones but we’ll see and I don’t have much hope.

So how will most of you apply? Will you individually or the group option? Made it kind of tough when Utah went that way years ago. Many of the big group camps disappeared when only one or two drew and others that group applied struckout. many ended up drawing 2nd or 3rd choices for areas they just kinda pulled out of the air and often had their buddies draw completely different area tags.

The group option is the only benefit. Most groups have been broken up since they went to the choose your unit for deer a few years back.
The main question is do you go for the good hunts or do you go for a unit that has lots of tags and little desire to ensure you draw with your first choice?

Seems like this was the writing on the wall for the past 2 years. I'm not too thrilled about having to buy the hunting permit with a chance of not drawing anything. The old system had its downsides and wasn't perfect but i liked it. I wonder if we will see a surge of people applying since there's no barrier to apply just enter in your credit card, pick your choices and cross your fingers.
