Applicants can find out if they drew a tag by checking the controlled hunt drawing results on the Idaho Fish and Game website at idfg.idaho.gov/CH.
Postcards were mailed to successful applicants by July 10. It is the responsibility of hunters to determine whether they were drawn. Unsuccessful applicants will not be notified.
