No sheep tag in Idaho for me this year. I can't complain after last years moose tag though.

I am an Idaho resident who left Washington state five years ago.  I put in for my second time this year and got the notice on May 8th that I had been drawn for one of the Controlled Moose Hunts in area 1-1.  The application fees are pretty reasonable for a resident especially when you look at the price for gas to scout the area.  Had I been moving into Washington instead of Idaho I would not have bothered putting in.  You have the point system there and at my age I would never have gotten drawn.
We came to hunt!

What makes Idaho "good" is the amount of tags versus applicants rather than the system - unless you're the type that is only really focused on one species.  In Idaho your odds will rarely improve over time. Most of the time they will go down as applicants increase, and you're locked in at 0% for the other species.

I too hate preference point systems, but don't mind bonus points since you still have a chance regardless of where you're at.

I'd rather take a slim chance at all than a small chance at one.  :twocents:

And for what it's worth, I'm in for moose.  :tup:
Idaho does have more tags - but I prefer their system. Every hunter in my entire family has drawn moose tags.

Last years Idaho moose tags (517) divided by moose applicants (7384) = overall 7% of applicants getting a moose tag.

There were close to 75,000 apps for elk tags alone last year.

You start letting E/D/A people put in for M/S/G...you absolutely turn the system into less than 1% of applicants getting a moose tag which means the vast majority of folks will never draw in their hunting lifetimes.

But its all a game of trade-offs...<1% chance at moose is not 0...and you can also draw some E/D/A tags along the way.

Great breakdown.  This why I support the current system 100%.
   

x3 Idaho is really the only state putting hunters ahead of dollars. You open it up for a free for all and everyone will put in for everything. Odds plummet for all species. It took me 20 years to draw my moose tag and the year I drew odds were 60 percent lol. If you really want a moose tag put in for less desirable tags and you will draw. I like that you specifically have to commit to one draw that you really want. There are years where some goat and sheep tags have double digit odds. I pray Idaho never changes -there is enough states where people can have "fun" entering 30 draws at .01 percent odds. Weird that my goat application said not selected this year ha ha I had been planning my hunt for weeks

Speaking of putting hunters above dollars....does anyone understand why idaho doesn't refund the not selected tag money like all the other states?? I paid them alot of money in processing fees and it seems they are the slowest processing state out there  :dunno:

There is a moose tag available in hunt area 27.  Looks like it’s been many years since a tag was filled, but if anyone wants a second chance there it is.

From what I’ve been told they like to hold it until beginning of July to get that little extra interest on it.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

From the Oil regs page 38:

Individual controlled hunt draw results will be emailed to those who provide a valid email address on their profile. Unsuccessful applicants will receive a refund of the tags fees submitted at time of application. Applications submitted online or over the phone will receive a credit on the card used to submit the controlled hunt application. All other applicants will receive a refund check by July 1. If you do not receive one of these by July 1, please call Fish and Game at 208-334-3700, or write to P.O. Box 25, Boise, ID 83707.
