Non resident Ibex

Desertcreek · Nov 28, 2016

I have been wanting to apply for ibex for years but I have heard it can be a while for a non resident to draw...
I was curious to know what the draw odds are on a non resident pulling an ibex tag?
Thanks in advance for your help !

Check out this link and pull up the 2016 draw odds report:

Your odds vary depending on sex and weapon choice, but for 2016 overall it looks like a total of 2,100 non-resident applicants were given 20 tags, so overall odds were still less than 1 percent.

I drew non res Oct archery hunt as my third choice.

That's a perfect 3rd choice because it's the least appealing. It was mine as well,but I don't draw ?

Don't worry about mulling over that ugly excel spreadsheet that was sent. The odds are like this:

Archery Draw - Extremely tough
Muzzleloader Draw - Extremely Extremely tough
Once in a lifetime - Nearly Impossible
Nanny - Very tough.

Ha ha.

I look at these odds every year although I never check them out for NR's. Our odd last year for resident O.I.L, significantly less than 1 percentage point (If memory still serves).

If you do draw, buy a lotto ticket the same day! Good luck. They are addicting to hunt. Very challenging terrain though. Be prepared.
