17 Idaho hunters draw Super Hunt tags
Draw results for the first round of Super Hunt applications have been announced.
Roughly 130,000 hunters applied for the first Super Hunt drawing. Of those, 46,463 were for eight deer tags, 38,089 were for eight elk tags, 10,309 were for eight pronghorn tags, 23,489 were for one moose tag and 11,532 entries were for one Super Hunt Combo, which includes a tag for each of the four species.
Hunters still have a second chance to win a Super Hunt tag this year.
All winners have been contacted. State law prohibits Fish and Game from releasing the names of the winners, but results by species and number of tags drawn by hunters from each state are:
Deer (8 total): Idaho (3), Washington (3), Oregon (1), Alaska (1)
Elk (8 total): Idaho (6), Washington (1), California (1)
Pronghorn (8 total): Idaho (6), Washington (1), Florida (1)
Moose (1 tag): Idaho (1)
Super Combo (1 combo package): Idaho (1)
Hunters still have a second chance to win a Super Hunt tag this year. The entry period for the second drawing goes through Aug. 10, where tags for two elk, two deer, two pronghorn, one moose and one Super Hunt Combo will be drawn, a press release said.
Super Hunt winners can participate in any open hunt in the state for deer, elk, pronghorn, or moose — including general hunts and controlled hunts — in addition to any general season or controlled hunt tags they also hold. All other rules of individual hunts apply.
Winners of the second drawing will be notified by Aug. 15. Hunters may enter the drawings online, at license vendors, Fish and Game offices or by calling 1-800-554-8685.
