TAGZ Launches for Idaho's New Nonresident Deer and Elk Draw

As Idaho transitions from over-the-counter general-season tags to a full two-stage draw, hunters finally have a clearer way to understand how units, quotas, and seasons interact. TAGZ was built specifically for this new era: a focused, data-driven dashboard that transforms complex Fish & Game tables into a real-time visual map of every 2026 deer and elk opportunity.

We break down the rule change and the full draw mechanics in our Idaho 2026 Nonresident Deer & Elk Draw Rules Overview, while TAGZ turns those rules into an intuitive, interactive format so you can plan smarter, filter faster, and avoid surprises on draw day.

TAGZ Interface and Functionality

Dashboard

You begin with the Dashboard Controls, where you can set your own filter (species, animal type, season, or time window) and instantly see how they affect your available options.

Once filters are applied, the Idaho Dashboard comes to life. Matching units highlight in color across the interactive map, and a real-time list updates below it, showing exactly where your selected hunts fit within the broader tag system.

Next, you can click any unit (on the map or in the list) to explore it in more detail.

Hunts Tab

This tab displays the number of tags allocated to nonresidents and outfitters. While these limits are officially published by Idaho Fish & Game in the 2026 Supplement, TAGZ transforms the static tables into a dynamic interface where you see only what's relevant to your current filters and can adjust your preferences in seconds.

Terrain Tab

Every unit in Idaho includes a detailed topographic profile: elevation range, habitat distribution, public-land share, and access density, all in a single view. TAGZ condenses terrain, access, and habitat layers into an interactive summary that helps you "read the country" before stepping foot into it.

This makes it easy to compare units side by side, assess real huntability, and understand how terrain influences animal patterns. In practical terms, it's what a paper map can't do: give you an instant, structured picture you can filter or compare instantly.

Get Ready for Idaho's First Nonresident Draw

With only weeks left before Idaho's first nonresident deer and elk draw, now is the time to explore TAGZ and understand the new landscape. Even though no draw statistics yet exist for this hunt, TAGZ gives you the clarity you need to plan effectively, showing which tags are available, how quotas divide across units and zones, and what terrain defines each area.

Every detail buried deep in Fish & Game PDFs (unit notes, tag limits, species restrictions, season windows) is structured and searchable inside TAGZ. Whether you're scouting for your next hunt or just trying to understand the new rules before applying, TAGZ brings Idaho's entire tag system to life in one place.

Start today, explore your favorite units, and get ahead of Idaho's new draw system before it catches anyone by surprise.
