Ughhh. Don't know if I can wait that longThis announcement says July 10 if I am reading it right...
As for the draw, hopefully things will be a bit faster now that they eliminated the mail-in apps. I've got my own theory on why they wait so long. In my mind, there isn't any reason why they can't run the regular controlled hunt period at the same time as the OIL species.Their general policy for the last several years is that you will be notified by mail no later than July 10th. The results, save last year, are typically out online late June. I have lived here and hunted my whole life, and I have never understood why Idaho is so late changing seasons, regs, and draw results. Game management agencies in every state have the same data gathering and analysis tasks to complete to set seasons and conduct draws. I've never received an answer from anyone that made any sense.
