2026 Idaho Nonresident Deer & Elk

[rmyoung1]

Anyone handicapping these new NR general hunt drawings? What’s gonna happen with the popular elk B tags in zones like Boise River or Sawtooth? How hard are those tags gonna be to draw? Any guesses? And what about popular deer units like 21A or 36B or 59?

Sawtooth hard, Boise easier based on tag number and demand.

Venmo me $5 for doing the math.

I need a 10 percentage point range and a margin of error before I hand over cash, sir

Covered!

Besides joking @rmyoung1 , look at the tag numbers and demand. Some of the capped units are going to be very hard while other units will be easier.
