Who put in for an Idaho big three tag?

In for goats. I still don't have a hard on for trophy species, I prefer putting in for the other 3 species. Although the 1 goat hunt I went on was such an adventure.

But I figure I ought to start applying if I ever want to shoot the big 3.
 
Moose for me as well. Hopefully there is plenty of HuntTalk luck to go around this year.
 
First year in about 15 I did not do Mtn goat as I thought I would draw in Colo. did not want conflicting Mtn Goat hunts. I drew in Colo so it worked out. Now how about a good deer hunt in Idaho.
 
NR moose, although I heard on the RichOutdoors podcast I may regret my unit choice. I put in for Unit 51 a guest on that show said he lives near the unit and he would not want the tag. Oh well, I just want the chance to hunt so hopefully I draw.
 
Attempt #15 for NR moose. Given our crazy crammed calendar for this year, I suspect this will be the year lightning strikes.
 
years past it would be this week(last year it was the 17th). But its a new contractor this year that had problems with the bear and turkey draws so I'm not holding my breath for this week.
 
Moose tag for me. 1 in 12 shot for nonresidents in the unit last year. I'm really hoping to draw! Results should be out in a few days I imagine.

There are no NR tags guaranteed in any specific Big 3 unit. The 1 in 12 odds for that particular unit in 2017 could have easily been 0 in 12 if the applications were drawn in a slightly different order in 2017. Avoiding units that show heavy application pressure year after year is likely to improve a NR applicant's odds but the 10% cap double hurdle still makes the NR odds way worse than 1 in 12 for any moose unit in 2018. Idaho has a two-hurdle process to be awarded a tag as a NR. The NR application first has to be selected out of the combined pool of R and NR applications. When the NR application is selected then a NR tag is only awarded when the 10% cap for the species is not yet met plus the 10% NR cap per unit is not yet exceeded.
