They way I have read it, my child, who is 7, can not hunt small game with us and can not buy an Idaho hunting license because she can not enroll in an Idaho hunters education course yet. Is that correct.
If she has completed a hunters education course from a different state can she then buy a Idaho hunting license and hunt small game?
Answer:
You are correct, in Idaho 7 year olds cannot purchase a hunting license. But when she turns 8....you can purchase her a Hunter's Passport for $ 1.75 to hunt small game, sold at any vendor. The carrier of a passport must be with a licensed adult hunter at all times during the hunt....the passport is good for 1-calendar year.
The hunter passport is for individuals that have never-ever purchased a hunting license in any state.
Yes, they can use the passport before they have taken hunter education (its a one-time deal) So if you purchased the passport when she is 8....she couldn't hunt again till she is 10 with hunter education completed.
