Ask Fish and Game

Q. There is an elk depredation hunt in an area close to me, how can I get in on it? A. You had to apply for the depredation hunt list earlier in the year. If you are an Idaho resident with a valid hunting or combination license, you have to fill out the "Depredation Hunt Application" found in the Big Game Rules Brochure and mail it to the regional office in the area you are willing to hunt. You, and a partner if you like, may apply in different regions for deer, elk, and antelope. But you can apply only once each year for deer, once for elk and once for antelope. All applications received from May 1 to June 30 will be placed in random order. All applications received after June 30 will be placed at the end of the list in the order received. The list is valid from July 1 to the following June 30.
