Hunting

Idaho Super Hunt tags are one of the most unusual hunting opportunities in the West.  First, you don’t need a state hunting license to enter a Super Hunt drawing.  Two, if you win, you have the opportunity to hunt in any open hunt for your species.

Turkey hunters who applied for spring controlled hunts can check online to see whether they were successful in the recent drawing. Hunters can simply enter their hunting license numbers at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/ch, or go to Drawing Results under the Licensing tab.

Fish and Game has commenced winter feeding in the Southwest, the Magic Valley, the Southeast and the Upper Snake regions.

Don’t let the cold weather fool you; Idaho’s spring black bear and turkey controlled hunts will start in a little over two months.  Spring controlled hunts for black bear begin April 1, with some spring controlled turkey hunts beginning as early as April 8. 

With the big game hunting seasons over, Idaho Fish and Game reminds hunters to file their harvest reports on their 2016 deer, elk and pronghorn hunts. Hunters are required to file a report for each tag they purchased whether they went hunting or not.

Since we just started the new year, you can consider this the beginning of a new hunting season, too.

Idaho’s hunters, anglers and trappers expect professional management of Idaho’s wildlife resources including our fisheries. As a sportsman, you know that scientific management is key to providing quality hunting and fishing for you and for future generations. Idaho Fish and Game is proud to be supported by sportsmen and women. Your license dollars are critical both to daily wildlife management, and in the legacy of wildlife conservation that started in Idaho over 75 years ago.
