Q: Is there a way I can get more than one deer this year? A: There are several ways that make harvesting a second deer in Idaho possible. The most common is applying for an extra tag. If you look at your big game rules brochure you'll notice that some of the listed hunt areas are followed by an X. The tags available in these hunts are extra. If you draw one, you can use it in addition to your general season deer tag or a deer tag from another controlled hunt. The key is to apply for the extra tag separately from any other controlled hunt application. It is also possible to get a second deer by purchasing a leftover non-resident tag at the non-resident price, or by putting in for a depredation hunt.
