2012 Draw Odds are posted

[UGAhunter]

The 2012 Deer, elk, bear draw odds are posted, but no results or back door option yet. Should be any minute now!

 

[DownThePipe]

44 Deer Applicants jumped 600 people from last year...ouch...

 

[jmagee84]

There's a 20% chance that I drew my deer tag and an 18% chance that I drew my elk tag. Hard to say for elk though cause they add the archery and rifle statistics together?

 

[MichaelJ]

No they post them by hunt # not unit #.

Good luck everyone!

It seems like there are a TON more applicants for tags this year. The odd percentages have definitely gone down significantly. More people must want to hunt Idaho this year. For example, the elk tag I drew on the second draw last year had 500 applicants for 150 tags. Last year there wasn't even 150 people who put in for it!!!

 

[MichaelJ]

The odds for the hunts I put in for actually improved slightly this year... of course that means I didn't draw

Did he catch a 35 inch rainbow in the Big Wood also?

 

[jkhunterid]

I have to agree with tagsoup!

 

[tagsoup]

Has anyone that applied for an unlimited tag checked the back door yet? Just wondering if the back door is showing?

[idelkslayer]

people probably decided to put in for that tag because they saw the low odds from last year. I have noticed that a lot of people chase the good odds from unit to unit.

 

[jmagee84]

you're right Mike I guess there's a 16% chance I drew an elk tag

 

[UGAhunter]

I did and I did and nothing yet.

 

[A00873975]

I put in on an unlimited hunt too.

No results posted on the backdoor yet.

 

[Idabow]

I drew a turkey tag!!!!!!!

20 tags, 20 applicants, probably still didn't draw...

That ain't a camel toe, that's a moose knuckle!

 

[bpnclark]

I think I drew my antelope tag!!! 4 non-res applied and 4 drew!!! Nothing showing up to buy thou.......

 

[jbloom17]

4 out of 77 drew the tag I'm looking for.... so your telling me theres a chance.....

 

[Idabow]

jbloom17, what did you put in for?

That ain't a camel toe, that's a moose knuckle!

 

[jbloom17]

It doesn't matter.... because I didnt draw. FML

 

[baerman]

Results are posted. My wife drew 54 archery elk! Good luck!

 

[Yoyak]

For those of you wondering about the backdoor...
I drew an unlimited archery antelope tag and was able to check the F&G website and get my results before it crashed. I checked the backdoor and it doesn't show that permit like it used to.
Probably just have to wait, I don't think the backdoor works like it used to.

Don't waste you're time calling the office.I got a hold of Cindy,and she said she could not give me any info. until the web site came online. She was not helpful and had an ATTITUDE!!

 

[NickM]

Wow, that's funny...

I called the Office - 334-3700...

And I drew my second choice Elk hunt, which is pretty cool seeing as I didn't have many options for Dec!

 

[NickM]

And the lady I spoke with was very nice!

 

[brdhuntr]

I'll keep trying,and hope i get another person. Will keep you posted.

 

[brdhuntr]

Called the office and this time got a person named Nickie,and she was very helpful and i drew Elk in 48,and she looked up my friends number as well, what a difference!

 

[nezzy]

Cindy was very nice and helpful as well. I was unable to take it any longer. Site was up at 3:30 am but, it would kick me off. Finally I had to call!

Its on

Matt was great.... except he told me I did not draw any tags. It only took him about 30 seconds to pull me up and tell me. Have fun everyone!

Amazing the jump in some hunts, 44 buck went up 20% in one year, and that hunt has quite a few tags and has had a fairly steady number of applicants ~2400 historically, but was over 3000 this year. This is one of my primary oppositions to going to a BP system, as I think that same 44 tag would likely jump to 4000 or 5000 the first year. Not looking to start an argument, but I feel for my grandkids.
