Yeah, mine was 4 permits with 74 applicants. To put that into perspective, I think Washington has 4,000 applicants for 4 tags or so. SOmeone would have to pull the exact numbers.
yeah points will screw Idaho's odds..
Right now the best odds to draw moose are in idaho, why F*** up a good thing.

WA does the same thing...Yes of course. But the difference is Idaho stands to make a lot more money than Washington does by selling hunting licenses to non-residents that will never be used. A non-resident can apply for a moose tag in Washington for $60, and for that they get a point. How much does it cost to apply for moose in Idaho?
That's why non-residents love applying for our moose, sheep, and goat permits. We're probably the lowest cost state to apply in for those species.

Anyone applying for sheep, goat, and/or moose in other states should consider applying in Washington. They have some good quality hunts. The non-refundable application fees are less than $60 per species. You will build bonus points each year you are unsuccessful in drawing a tag. Resident and non-resident applicants are in the same application pool. There are not any non-resident quotas when it comes to these three species. Apply and let us know if you draw!
Just got a voicemail from one of my good buddies in Idaho..He drew a Sheep tag.. Deff gonna be filming that hunt this fall
