LAST EDITED ON Jun-16-11 AT 10:29PM (MST)[p]I'm in shock, after 27 years of failed attempts to draw a quality deer tag, I finally got a congratulations screen! I drew unit 45 rifle. I'm sitting here watching Lowland Mulies volumes 1 through 4 as I type this.
Congratulations! License number XXX-XX-XXXXXX was drawn for the following hunt(s):
Species Hunt Area Hunt No.
Pronghorn 63-2A 4041
Deer 45 1025
You must purchase your controlled hunt tag no later than August 1, 2011.
Any tags not purchased by this date will be forfeited.
Somebody pinch me. I have drawn my share of elk and pronghorn tags and even my once in a lifetime moose, but I have never drawn a top quality deer tag in Idaho. I'm jacked to say the least! I hope I can sleep tonight.
My two children struck out on their apps, but I'm kind of relieved since I'll have such a great tag to scout, and prepare for. I'll still take them on the general hunts, but I'll be dreaming of my upcoming hunt the whole time.
Good luck to everyone in the draws! Anybody have Steve Alderman's number handy?
