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.
yea i know odds are tough in washington i played that game while i was there the thing that really jumps out at me is the 500% or better increase in applicants for unit 39 goat, i wonder if a lot of people werent trying to get OIL tags this season because next season the draw may be as bad as washingtons with the talk of revamping and bringing in a point system

yeah points will screw Idaho's odds..
SUX, is exactly correct, I am an Idaho outfitter and I don't even want to see points, it will screw up the odds like all the other states. Right now the best odds to draw moose are in idaho, why F*** up a good thing.

Because, the state of Idaho needs a product to sell, they can't sell moose tags to everybody every year, but they CAN sell a hunting license and a point to everybody every year.

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?

Are you sure, it says you have to have a washington hunting license.
OK, I just saw the exception for goat sheep moose on needing a license.

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.
Not sure that's the case, in fact Carter Services recommends against applying for Washington (unless that changed in the last year).

Here is a quote from the May 2009 issue of Garth Carter's "Huntin' Fool" magazine:
Quote
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!

Many states use a formula that costs 10x more for non-residents than residents. That is Washington's formula too.
