I was wondering if anybody in Idaho or has hunted there knew what the waiting period is for a hound training permit ?

You put in for a draw in November I believe and they give out about 70 permits.

It's just a drawing, put in November they draw the beginning of December. It is not a point system. And if there is any left over they sell on a first come first serve in the middle of December. They only give out 70 state wide but some zones are unlimited I believe but then you are stuck to that specific zone.

So what are your chances if you apply for a statewide permit? How much of a lottery is it? I see people on here from Oregon & Washington talking about hunting bear etc and I can only assume they are hunting in Idaho. I live in Eastern Oregon and would potentially like to run dogs in Idaho. What are the odds of my getting a non-resident hound hunting permit?

I'm not sure but I bet if you called ID Fish and Game they would tell you how many people usually put in.

where at in eastern or. r u from

My buddies hunt Idaho every year for bear and lion and they draw a hound handlers permit about every other year lately but it used to be about every third year. If you get a hound handlers permit you might as well get a lion harvest tag cause their just an over the counter tag, plus I'm pretty sure that by just buying your hunting license you can harvest three bobs.
