which of the 2 states would any of you rather apply for for better drawing odds? wyoming or idaho?

MNHunter,

The CO game changes shortly with the requirement to buy a license of some sort in order to accrue points, or pay an additional fee without license purchase.

UT also goes this way come middle of next year.

Most all of this will be addressed in the state by state breakdown printed in Grand Slam magazine (www.grandslamclub.org) in the next issue.

joebobhunter4,

New Mexico you can put in for Desert for $6. They'll hit your credit card for the full $3K+ if you draw. There is no point program in NM at present. So it's an all or nothing shot in NM with no bonus or preference point accrual.

Joebobhunter4,

Wyoming and Idaho will offer similar odds, but the kicker for me is in Wyoming at least you know that you're applying for an actual tag with a set non-resident quota. In Idaho, you never know where a non-resident will be drawn. Also, Wyoming's $100 point fee is still cheaper than Idaho's license fee.

Just my 2 cents.

I know they did that last year for Elk, deer and lop but I wasn't aware they are going to do it for sheep and goats. Thanks for the info Brenton

MNHunter,

It's not set in stone yet, must be approved by the Wildlife Commission. But it looks like it is headed that way from some of the documents I've been able to take a look at.

joebob,
Odds in Wyoming (and most states) depend on the unit you apply for, and the number of points you have. If you have limited or no points in Wyoming, Idaho has the best odds because the don't have a point system. Some units in Wyoming are much easier to draw, but have very few sheep, so it is a trade off. I drew a Wyoming sheep in Wyoming in 04 and I had a 40% chance of drawing, but I had the maximum points.

dont waste your time putting in for NM. Please tell all of your hunting buddies the same. HE HE.

joebobhunter4 · Jan 10, 2007

but putting in for wyoming how much do you have to send in to apply? to me it seems like you have to send in the full $1,901 just to apply then they send $1,801 back to you with 1 pref. point say if you are starting... or am i wrong?
