Idaho's lack of a point system deters thousands of NR, improving odds for those who do apply. The requirement to choose between elk/deer or an OIL species, as well as limiting us to one OIL species app per year, are the best features.
I still apply in Utah, but they destroyed NR odds for guys wanting a PARTICULAR species, by opening up the NR OIL apps to all species.
Nevada???....I'll keep applying there too, but remember, they don't just square YOUR points, they square EVERYONE's points. The squaring won't help you draw a tag when there are still 700 other guys in your point pool.
In the end I guess it doesn't really matter what state has the "best" system. If you want a premium quality elk or deer or pronghorn hunt, or need a Mt Goat, Sheep, Moose, or Wild Bison hunt, you'd best apply in EVERY state that offers the tags, regardless of the plus/minuses of their draw schemes.
As NR in most states, we can't tell their GFD's how to run their draws. So we either play the game as they offer it and hope they'll toss us a crumb or two someday, or accept the alternative to hang around home and hunt squirrels.
