Q. An Idaho landowner I know told me I don't need a hunting license to hunt on their private land. Is that true?
A. No. Residents or nonresidents must have a hunting license to hunt anywhere in Idaho, even if it is in a depredation hunt, landowner appreciation hunt, or landowner permission hunt. If you are hunting something that requires a tag, you must have that, also.
