Anyone draw anything good?
My oldest daughter was unsuccessful for moose. She’s bummed
I’m waiting for my rejection email on the sheep I applied for.

Funny I have a friend, second generation Sagle born and raised, that went 24 years before drawing moose. Fast forward to my newish neighbors that moved from Iowa six years ago and she drew in three years (and successfully hunted 6 months pregnant) with her husband drawing two years later taking a very nice 46" bull. Being an out of stater I gave up a number of years ago.

Drew moose the first year I applied in 2005. Back then there were left over moose tags in some of the more remote units. Applied for goat every year until I was drawn last year. This year was my first year applying for sheep, no luck. May take a few more years to pull a sheep tag. lol.

As I understand it, out of state folks are allotted 10% of the total tags available. Is this correct?

Once 10% is reached all non resident apps are removed and only residents are drawn then. Technically a non resident can draw a unit with only 1 tag available since Idaho doesn’t have set aside resident/non resident tags.

Things have changed a lot over the years and these hunts are a lot more popular. Maybe 20 years ago, my partner and I put in for moose between Ashton and Yellowstone. We drew the 1st time. The odds of drawing were something like 25% IIRC. California bighorn hunts were very east to draw but then some kind of disease hit them all across SW Idaho. They reduced the tags by about 50% and they've never come back up. Now. with the reduced tags and a lot more hunters, you'll wait for years to draw.
