Idaho controlled hunt drawing results out soon
HUNTING -- The suspense is almost over for Idaho big-game hunters.
Results of special drawings for big-game controlled hunt tags will be available any day on the Idaho Fish and Game Department drawings web page.
Postcards will be mailed to successful applicants by July 10.
Ultimately, hunters must bear the responsibility to determine whether they've been drawn, state officials say.
Unsuccessful applicants will not be notified.
Winners must buy controlled hunt tags by Aug.1; any tags not purchased by that date will be forfeit.
Unclaimed and leftover tags from the first drawing will be available in a second application period Aug. 5-15.
After the second drawing, any tags left over are sold over the counter.
Washington already has conducted its special hunt drawings.
