Frequently Asked Questions

What are the current draw odds for Idaho Deer Unit 39-1?

The most recent published odds are 68% for resident applicants in 2025 — 2,702 applicants for 1832 tags on the Controlled 1st Drawing either sex hunt. The nonresident pool for that same hunt drew at 68% (168 tags, 248 applicants). Idaho publishes applicants and tags but no point threshold with these numbers, so this is the odds for the whole pool — not what a given point total would draw.

How many preference/bonus points do I need for Idaho Deer Unit 39-1?

We won't guess. The Idaho report behind these tables gives applicants, tags, and the odds that fall out of them — it carries no point thresholds, so nothing here can tell you what your points would draw. Points still matter when you apply; check the agency's own preference-point report for the cutoff, and read the resident and nonresident rows below separately.

Is the competition increasing for Idaho Deer Unit 39-1?

Competition in the resident pool for the Controlled 1st Drawing either sex hunt looks increasing. Odds ran 100% in 2023 and 68% in 2025. The other pool can move the other way, so check both tables.
