'Why can nonresidents buy tags on Dec. 1?' That question and more answered.

Hunters have asked Fish and Game staff a number of questions about the nonresident tag sale, including residents asking about the timing of the sale.

Here’s a quick explanation:

Snapshots of deer migration over the new Highway 21 overpass

Fish and Game cameras have been capturing photos of deer migrating over the new Cervidae Peak Wildlife Overpass on Highway 21 in Southwest Idaho. Cameras have been in place for just a few weeks, but are already showing use of the overpass. Here are some shots from those cameras from a few days in November.

Hunters using e-bikes are reminded to be aware of motor vehicle use restrictions on public lands

No matter how you slice it, e-bikes are motorized vehicles in Idaho – whether you’re talking about lands that Idaho Fish and Game manages or provides access to, or federal lands managed by the Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management. It is a hunter’s responsibility to know and abide by vehicle use restrictions on public lands, including policy set by the land management agency, or restrictions that have been put in place by Fish and Game that relate specifically to hunting.

Anglers are reminded to turn in Lake Pend Oreille fishing logbooks by Dec. 10 for a chance to win prizes and swag

The time periods for filling out Lake Pend Oreille Angler Science program fishing logbooks has ended, so make sure to turn in your completed logbook by Dec. 10 for your chance to win some great prizes!

Resident licenses, tags and permits will be temporarily unavailable on Dec. 1

Residents needing a license, tag or permit should plan to buy them before or after Dec. 1. High demand for nonresident deer and elk tags has caused significant system slowness in prior years, and in an effort to streamline the Dec. 1 nonresident sale, resident items will be unavailable. Fish and Game hopes that this will avoid any frustrations from resident buyers who would likely face long lines, and/or delays when attempting to buy during the sale.
