With the Idaho second chance draw applications starting tomorrow I wanted to get opinions on if it was worth it or not for NR’s to apply for the tags?

I know they have a 10% allocation to NR’s and in the case of the capped tags there are even fewer so with the second chance draws usually only having 1 or 2 tags available would I be wasting my time by applying or do the turned in tags go to a free for all lottery system.

If anyone in the know could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

Good Luck!!!

Travis, I called about this last year and was told that the NR cap did not come into effect for the leftovers draw.

I'll be applying since it's my only chance due to being on the waiting list from last year. Long shot odds for sure. One thing I noticed is even fewer tags went unclaimed than I remember from the last 7 years. The unit I apply for usually has 10-15. This year...2
