grizzly hunt

[kimbersig]

Well, who all applied for the 1 tag?

 

[judkins1]

I gave them my money.

Have hunted all my life in Idaho and the west and have never seen a grizz. Wouldn?t know where to start looking. Driggs? Sand Point?

My friend has them on his deck all the time. Hard to keep them out of stuff. Yeah, I bought a chance.

Ya why not! Last I heard there were only 400 or so apps. Not bad odds. Besides with it still being in court there might not be a tag anyways. My luck would be I draw a once in a lifetime tag and they take it away lol. Good luck

I felt like they did a great job keeping the applications down. Paper only, checks, etc.

Honestly I never saw an application booklet until the Friday before the 15th when they were due (which was a Sunday? how does that work?)

I never did get put in...probably the best draw odds one will ever have for a griz hunt in the lower 48.

I would start up at Island Park or Victor.

 

[kimbersig]

it wasn't paper only and checks. you could have applied on line, at a vendor, or at IDFG offices with plastic too....

Driggs? Naw. You'd be extremely lucky to find one between Driggs and the Wyo boarder which isn't very far.

Island Park. I've only seen a couple while hunting, I've seen more while fishing. Last May (2017) right at dark I saw a sow and a little cub cross the hwy heading west about a few hundred yards south of Riverside campground. They looked wet, I have know idea how that tiny little cub crossed that river.

I put in, I figure odds are it will be the one and only time I ever feel the urge to apply seeing as how it will be a pick your 1 OIL opportunity in future years. I'm guessing draw odds will be great next year and on into the future

Only area that is open is near island park

agreed, I keep hoping it will help increase draw odds for sheep but I probably won't put my money on that hope.

LAST EDITED ON Jul-19-18 AT 09:10AM (MST)[p]Just saw that 7000 people applied in WY. Haven?t heard numbers yet for ID, but I would imagine much less.

 

[andrew12gauge]

I'm guessing less than 1000 for sure, but they also have 24 tags for their 7000 applicants. Will be interested to see the final numbers for sure
