Whether you are a new hunter or a seasoned veteran, pheasant hunting opportunity in 2023 will not disappoint!
Sometimes it can be challenging to introduce the sport of hunting to a youth or an adult that has never hunted. Pheasant hunts are the perfect gateway opportunity as they are active, fun and often result in shooting opportunity and success. Get out and give it a try!
Statewide, youth ages 17 years and younger with an Idaho hunting license can participate in the youth-only pheasant hunt from Oct. 7-13 at 24 locations across the state.
Youth will need to be accompanied by a licensed adult 18 years or older, but they do not need an Upland Game Bird Permit. All hunters must wear hunter orange above the waist while hunting during pheasant season in areas where birds are stocked.
Young hunters who have never had a hunting license and have not taken hunter education can still participate in the hunt through Idaho's Hunting Passport Program.
