Awesome story and great job dad getting him out!

The regs have always stated that those who drew will be notified by July 10th. Has been that way for years. Seems like they typically do better than that. I am as anxious for results as everyone else but I suppose any day we get results prior to the 10th is a bonus. Like everyone else I am...

I just looked at mine, they all still say eligible. I guess who knows.

Cycle of the Idaho draw system 1. Apply for the best units in the state 2. Complain about how long the draw results take 3. Complain when you don't draw the tag you applied for with a 1-5% chance of drawing 4. Complain online and on social media about how Idaho needs a points system and you are...

I would guess we still have 2 weeks. Bear results weren't really that fast this spring. But I could be wrong, last year was July 1 and I believe the year before was around June 20. Best of luck everyone!

I am a contractor and when I worked at the potato plants there I would slip down on the Snake at lunch and do a little fishing. We caught a few descent fish in that time.

I wasn't hit with anything good this year on the out of state draws. So I was pretty much reserved to General or Unlimited draw tags here at home. One of the great things about living here in Idaho. My sons, brother and dad also didn't draw much other than one easy to draw bull tag. Regardless...

Quite a few goats, we had the tag last year and went early in October. The majority of the goats were in the HMA stuff. We all killed low 70s bucks but had a great time. There were plenty to look at.

We could go back and forth on this forever, if you like points there are plenty of states that afford you that opportunity. I prefer the random draw that my home state offers. Either way good luck in your hunts in the future. ✌ P.S. Vote Red

Ha, uneducated and selfish. I provided you actual data from a hunt in Wyoming. It is not uneducated or wrong to state that kids and new hunters would be disadvantaged if they do not start applying when a system is instituted. Even in Nevada point creep exists still. Even if creep stops at some...

It really isn't baseless, they are pretty much eliminated from ever drawing top tier units. A kid that can begin building points now is 20+ years behind the top point holders in some states. They are not just having to wait, they are basically eliminated. Also the top tier units usually have...

Except for the deer tag you drew in 2006 and the elk tag you drew in 2011 as noted in your previous posts on this site right.

I don't know about proof as I know several kids my sons age who haven't drawn anything. I also have a sister in law who seems to draw any tag she applies for. But my wife can't seem to pull anything but unlimited tags. My other son also isn't nearly as lucky as his brother. Until I was 30 I had...

I used to think a points system was the way to go. About 10 years ago I was really hoping Idaho would go that way. Now that I have kids coming up, and where I was late to the game on points in several other states I am totally opposed. I am a lifelong Idaho resident, I have drawn 3 deer tags...

Swing and a miss. Good luck to all who were successful.

It says in the regs that successful applicants will be notified by June 10. They are usually quicker than that but we will see what happens last year. Last year I got the unsuccessful email on May 17th. My guess this year is the 15th.

Nice job guys!! I am going through this stage with my boys right now and it is a blast. Congrats!!

So this might be a little long winded but I will try and keep it somewhat short. However I don't blame you if you just breeze through and look at the pictures as that is what I typically do. 2019 did not start out well, we had a tough time finding any solid deer. We kept grinding it out and we...

Thanks everyone! He was beyond excited. It was a great experience to share with him.

This year my 2nd oldest boy turned 10, so we were good to go in our home state of Idaho. The other night we were able to turn up this buck for him and he was able to make a great shot at 290ish yards. It was a great day, he had been looking forward to this all year.

I live in the unit and have hunted it most years since I was 12. Things were starting to look good until the winter of 16-17. The deer took a pretty good hit. Most of the good deer you will see will be on private but you always have a chance to catch a good one on public. Heavy hunting pressure...

I have hunted 74 most years since I was 12. If you have an in with a landowner it would be a good tag to get. Most of the deer come down and rut in the fields. Not to say you couldn't catch one slipping and get him on public but it might be tough. The deer numbers in 74 are down quite a bit...

Had a great time chasing deer with my 11 year old son this fall and was able to help him take his 2nd deer in as many years. It was tough to find time to get out a ton between school and football but we were able to make it happen with 2 days left in the season. He's a trooper and set the goal...

Congrats! And as mentioned above, thank you for your service. Great looking goat.

Perfect example. Thanks for your input. No points in Idaho.

Actually missalot your whole argument for not eliminating new hunters is invalid. You are arguing that this is the only option to "guarantee" top tier tags. I am 32, was late to the points game in several states. I have 4 points in utah now for deer, elk and antelope. I will die with my points...
