what percentage of tags for say bighorn sheep are given to nonresidents ? Is there a limit of tags alloted to nonresidents in the trophy draws ?

Up to 10% of the tags alloted to every controlled hunt can go to nonresident hunters--we don't guarantee that 10% will, but up to 10% can. If a controlled hunt has less than 10 permits, only 1 can go to a nonresident. Each application is given a unique application number. Before the drawing takes place the applications are mixed up by the computer so the first applicant has the same chance as the last one to draw. Idaho doesn't have a preference point system. 2013 Moose, sheep and goat rules will be out in March and the application period for those hunts is April 1-30.
