Im not sure how it all works. I have 3 friends that applies for Bannock A 1st choice and didn't draw, but there is 36 tags left?

Leftover tags are from people who drew the tag but did not purchase a tag.

Did 36 people not buy there tag by Jan. 20th?

I’ve seen the bucks that come out of Idaho vs Montana. I will take a tag and take my beat down.

I know two guys that didn’t buy their tags because the rest of their buddies didn’t draw and didn’t want to go alone.
Another that didn’t purchase his deer tag because he didn’t draw elk and wasn’t interested in just deer.
I bet there’s quite a few that weren’t picked up for similar reasons???

I'll be trying to pick up my deer tag again. I can't believe some of the elk tags that weren't purchased...

Toss away $200 and think nothing of it. And people think tag and point fees will lead to people dropping out. LOL

Crazy huh?

IDFG made millions on this idea. I heard one rumor that IDFG had 7k new applicants entered into the system.

They must like their friends more than I like mine.

100%. Everyone seemed to be predicting the demand would go down, and I thought no way. The marketing of these tags and the FOMO is too high.

If I got a general elk tag the first run can I now apply for a deer tag in the 2nd run?

Yes!

The one rule I believe they have is you can't get drawn for a species in the first draw, not buy the tag, then apply for that same species in the second draw.

I checked the IdGF website this morning and it threw me in the queue… only about a 5 minute wait but i can’t believe the demand. I think people are just playing because they can

 

[jpc01101]

yeah it does trigger that "Gambling" gene for sure!! I'm in for a deer tag to go along with my archery elk tag.

 

[Cammy]

Took about 2 minutes to get in to the site this morning. Really hope to draw a tag as we have been making the annual trip to Idaho for over 15 years. Won't feel like November without making the trek.

I returned i guess technically didnt purchase what is probably the best elk tag in list because it was $650 vs $40 DAV price I paid for the second best tag that is also on list since I drew both. (New capped vs non capped DAV requirements) This was one of my complaints on design, should of done youth/dav week early, then major draw later would of eased some strain on system also.
