Hello from New Mexico!! I'm new on the Idaho forum but not new to monster muleys. I'm looking to gather some information about possibly hunting idaho since I heard the draw hasn't happened there yet. I've applied for every animal in my home state of New Mexico and didn't draw a single tag. Nor did my wife and daughter (she's 10) I've been pissed off at the world for the last two days!! Anyway I got a call from a guy in Idaho that drew my favorite unit in nm and we got to talking and he said I should apply and learn a little about Idaho so here I am! I've got a ton of questions basically wanna know how the draw works for out of state people. Here in nm out of state gets a certain percentage of the tags. Also is the draw a lottery or do you need to build preference points like other states. When is the rut for elk? Here it's late September early oct. Wondering if it's the same in Idaho. Any information will be helpful. I'm going to download the hunting regulations and read up but I'm hoping some locals would be willing to help. Most of all would like to know what the best units to apply for are. I don't want to drive all that way and spend the money unless I'm going to draw a great unit. Hopefully that doesn't sound crappy but I'm not a rich guy and I'd like the best bang for my buck. I completely understand if you don't wanna help. A lot of people seem to turn their back to out of staters but I've never agreed with it and I have faith that a few down to earth guys might lend a hand. Thanks in advance for your time and help!
