Heads up non-resident elk tags in Idaho

[Leonhogboy]

12815 non-resident 2022 elk tags for Idaho went on sale today at 10:00 MST.

I was in the virtual waiting queue and when it opened there were only 17,000 people in front of me.

I will update if I get lucky.

A combination, 12815 elk tags and 14000 deer tags. There are 276 archery tags for the zone I want.

I went thru that goat show for a 2020 Idaho elk tag and was lucky enough to kill an archery bull. There has got to be a better way to do it. Spend hours trying to get thru only to get kicked off. Good luck to everyone.

so this is there way of limiting the OTC supply?

I just read they are sold out. I want to know how MORE people are able to hunt when we have record numbers of folks no longer working or seeking work.

In all reality, I think a lot of folks didn't draw last year, and are picking up an ID tag now to guarantee at least one spot to hunt.

It's Idaho's way of allocating a set percentage of tags to non residents.

OK, after 4 hours and 30 minutes online, I was able to get an archery tag in the zone I wanted (Lolo).

Some units sold out early but in my zone there were still 166 tags out of 276.

Now we will find out if my body will let me get in some sort of elk shape over the next nine months.

Good luck in the Lolo unit. Not a high density zone but they are still in there to find. Hope for a mild winter.

No elk in Idaho. Low-low is gonna be a tough hunt. Y'all have horses? Make sure to get wolf, bear and lion tags. Missed a lion day before yesterday on a rushed shot [emoji19]

I'm going with a guide and his horses and I'll have more tags than a resale store.

I know there are not many elk in Idaho, but the guide did say he thought he saw one last week.

Or it might have been a skinny moose.
